Default ID an engine

I recently bought a 68 vette was told it had a 427 non matching #s
I've tried to identify the engine but no luck
On the front passenger side just below the Heads I got CJ330780 ... Above the timing cover I got T1015PLO on the back of block I got 14015445
I would appreciate any feedback I think it may be a 454 but the PLO suffix is killing, lol at this point the suffix may as well be LOL
Thanks

Default Suffix PLO???

I know the T is for Tonawanda and the 1015 is for Oct. 15th PLO??? LOL

Shows it's very likely a 1975-87 454 truck block

Good luck... GUSTO
