What would be the engine suffix code for a 82

I'm going to swap all my engine accesories for c4 serpentine stuff so thought I would see if my car still has it's original motor.

When you get all the old accesories off, check the area around the front passenger side head. There should be a stamped set of #s, they should match the vin.

- in addition, there should be another alpha-numeric stamping. it would have information on the assembly plant, final manufacturing date of the engine, and a lettered suffix code. for 82 it would be ZBA: 350ci, 200hp auto, ZBN: 350ci, 200hp auto, CE, ZBC: 350ci, 200hp, auto, CE, early production.
