I've searched and I know what a Camaro is supposed to have, but I can't find what mine is out of. Information is below. I know it's a 396/402, but out of what -S is St Louis? It also has what looks to be valve reliefs on the top edge of the cylinder bores - only on 1 side. Are these normal or was it being used in a high lift, low clearance setup?

Date/Suffix T0403CTB
VIN 12S247903
Code 3999290

Thanks,
Dan
