Tom, The GF suffix comes up for two applications. The casting number would be of help off the back of the block. The two aplications for the GF are pretty interesting and you could be sitting on few dollars with it, if the casting comes up. It could be either a 57 280 HP/283 FI engine with a turboglide, or it could have been 55-56 265 with a three speed with AC. Either way it is a desirable engine
