Truck block. Probably from a pickup or van

K= St. Catherines, Ontario engine plant
0224 = Feb 24
TPA = ?? I can't find TPA but the T normally indicates it as a truck block.

Double check those last 3 digits. A casting number can give you a rough year and what the bore size should be.

Guessing at possibilities...

TPB = 307
TRA = 307
TBA = 350 in 3 different years and a 265 in 1956

There's another series of numbers stamped with those ones. You can get a year code from those numbers to narrow it down.
