I have one like that without the Ind. tag. Mine is a 1955 331 CI. Looking for a body for it now. If you get the numbers off it, there is a nice site to decode it.

Back when I was an aircraft powerplant mechanic, we had several of those in Hobart drive around power units. I had to convert them all to electronic ignition, because they ate points/condensers for breakfast. BIG two barrel carbs and oil bath air cleaners too... then I converted them all to run on propane... one blew up, and I stuck a 413 in that one from a wrecked D500 Dodge truck

They were used in generators and industrial applications. Don't know what, if any, internal differences there are.
