Numbers Matching?

Hi, can anyone tell me how I can tell if the 305 in my 83 TA is original?

On the deck on the pass side, just in front of the head, there is a sort of "pad" of deck that sticks out past the head. The factory stamps 2 sets of numbers in there. One of them is a code for what kind of engine it is; the other is the last few digits of the VIN of the car it's installed in.

Go for it... I won't promise I can answer it, but you can ask!
