Default Help with engine identification / 283 cui ?

Dear all,

my name is Chris from Germany and I'm looking for some help to identify a chevy engine.
I know that it was removed from an 63 or 64 corvette several years ago, but not sure if it was the factory engine.
Wikipedia says that the 283 engine was used in the first corvette generation until 62.

Surfed many sites and used google, but nothing to find

Codes are:

805528961
283V05220

I have attached a picture.

Would be nice to know what type of engine it is (HP) or in which car it was originally used.
Maybe its the correct engine for my Impala.

Thanks in advance

Best regards
Chris

Welcome to the forum from Florida. The first Corvette V8 was in 1955 and it was a 265cu. The 283 first showed up in 1957.
