I can see a D24T valve cover and a dipstick in the correct location under all the hoses and wires, so I'm quite sure it is a correct D24T block (and presumably head as well).

On an early engine like that, there will be a stamping at the front of the head near the power steering pump bracket. Does yours say "D24T"? Assuming (and hoping) it does.

Nice catch Anders, yes, now that you point it out I can also see the altitude compensation solenoid there.... that is also something that a 1983 D24T should not have had so additional evidence that either the pump (most likely) or possibly the motor was changed. Having the solenoid is fine, but you will need to make sure that it is powered when the engine is running after installing it in your conversion.
