I thought the warranty tag was on the front of the engine??? Mine has the one on the side as well but no remnance is a tag that I can tell. You can see the rivot in the edge of this picture. I am also noticing the T has the right side of the top bar progressingly thinner as it goes to clsoe to flat on the far right side.
Careful, your character's showing!

This is a car I checked out about six months ago. The motor was not in the car but was a matching setup. The Body had about a 1/2" of dust it had been in the garage for 30 years. This motor has a casting date of 11/25/69 and 312 build date. This was an early built TA. No T on either side.

so whats the conclusion lots of input, i know several t/a aar folks and have one myself, and we have mixed bag,this may be a little premature but it seems that blocks made in 70 have this T in 69 no T. QUESTION IS WHY?? like one person on this forum suggested, easier to indentify?? means track? not sure, but i have a call into another source that worked at chrysler, untill then we need to keep digging, this is very interesting.. BARRY i know youre working on this, please post update on youre thoughts....
you come here with nothing and leave here with nothing!! enjoy life while on this planet, cuz when youre dead youre dead!!!

Yeah it does appear that way. Hopefully we'll find out why. My first assumption was this meant that it was a warranty block but others have posted matching number blocks with "T". They supposedly stopped production on the AAR's around the 17th of April not sure about the TA's. These April "T" blocks must have been still hot from the casting while being put together.
