Default Engine code suffix

Does anyone have any idea what application this engine came from. It looks like V1024OLE I could not locate that suffix anywhere.

I also think a 461 is a collectors item head. Valuable to the right guy if the date code works. Overpriced to anybody else. Old heads need guides and seats. Easy to spend 4-500 on a head. Just to have old school stuff. Brand new Vortecs or iron Dart heads are a way better option. You can get into aluminum heads for not much more. The block? A block is a block. No real diff between this old 350 and that one.
