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

i used to work for united airlines as well as my father , and he was the garage op. manager and this was in the ground power units that started the planes. there was at least 4 of these that were sitting around for many years. this one made it back to his house.

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