V means Flint Michigan

As far as PJC: http://www.chevymania.com/partsid/suffixresults.cfm

looks like a truck block was dropped in it. The other numbers are just off the original vin if I am not mistaken.

Re: Mystery engine

you can put whatever intake you want on the engine. Carb, tbi, tpi. It was originally, before someone put it in your car. It was in a truck originally, and swapped in.
