At a guess I would say that the I stands for industrial but no other clue. A photo would be good. Is the stamp in the same letter size and font as a Holden engine which may indicate that it was stamped at Fishermans Bend. Otherwise it may be a new engine which was purchased by a company, then installed in something and stamped with a number. Forklifts were a common example of industrial applications for grey engines, but they also turned up in tractors and stationary engines such as saws.

Let me guess, he thinks the block was built in the McKinnon Industries GM plant?  Cheesy

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Cheers,
