how do i know I have original engine

i purchased a 79 trans am with a rebuilt motor. It is supposed to be a 403 motor.
it is painted red.
has head casting numbers of 4A and 554 and 717
does this sound like a 79 403 motor?

Well, it sounds like a 2nd gen, not a 3rd gen.

If anyone on thirdgen.org cares to answer, they can PM you.
