Engine identification

I'm having trouble looking up my engine. I'm using this website.

http://www.nastyz28.com/chevy-engine...ngs.php#suffix

I can't find the suffix any where on there. It's TUZ. The full code is VO531TUZ. Can anyone help me with this? I would appreciate it greatly.

It's in an 86 Iroc Z. I have no idea if it is original. I got the car for cheap around a month ago and want to do some work to it. The person I got it from said that the guy who owned it before him put a "360ci" in it. There are a few stickers on the car that say "360ci".

Well it obviously isn't stock. You'll have to get under the car and look for some casting numbers on the block. This site should explain it all...

If it's stock it would be a TBI.
