Here's the suffix code address....
Decoding small block Chevy engine suffix codes and stamped numbers: TJT - TXB
Your TKK is a '78 or '80 350 truck motor, Regular Production Order LS9, 4-bbl, 165 horsepower. (low static compression ratio motor, so avoid a lumpy cam unless you raise the static compression ratio)
