I found a website that had a listing of GM rpo codes. It was pretty amazing to see all the codes and what they were, not just the engines. GM has been recycling all those engine codes. Much to my chagrin I learned that the L-36 (my 427/390 engine) was recycled much later as a 6 cylinder economy engine, L36.
here is one such listing... not to be considered exhaustive.
