3849852: 57-66 283 with 2 bolt mains - very common, recurring block casting

F0124D:
F0124 = Flint Plant, Jan 24 build

"D" provides the best clue - I show that as either a:
1958 185 hp, 2bbl 283with powerglide, available on cars and trucks (note your mechanic said you had 58 fuelie heads...)
or
1960 170 hp, 2bbl 283 with powerglide, available on cars and trucks

Hope that helps.
