Your assessment is certainly possible.
However, I had no idea that Corvair engines were made anywhere but Tonawanda. 
Don't all blocks start with a T??
Remember, they weren't casted at Tonawanda, that was done at the Reynolds 
Aluminum plant in Messina, NY. 
Are there blocks without a T in the casting number?
If so, I never saw one. 
Were blocks sent from Messina to LA?<unsnip>

Ah So!  Good point, Batman.
The engine ID stamping clearly indicated TO (Tonawanda) on every Corvair 
engine that I have ever seen and those marks are only stamped on assembled engines 
regardless of where they were cast. Perhaps the tool I have was used for 
rework only?
