Trying to Identify an Engine...

I'm looking for some help identifying the engine in my 63 Nova. I know the motor is out of a truck and is a 250, but we can't find these numbers listed on any sites out there. Here is the string, from front to back...

*CON2* *0172* 3994257

The stamping number by the distributor is F0822TPT

Thanks in advance for any help.

I say do a Ask, Yahoo or Google search on "GM Castings with that engine code" it should pop up.
Or go to Inliners.org and check there.
