In some cases Cowl tags have no bearing on the way the car was originally built---stamped as 4/6 cylinder and built with a V8 or vice versa--it usually is more concerned with trim/color/interior and production plant sequence other pertinant info etc---yes I know it says V8 but is it really a V8---also since 40 years has elapsed many bootleg recreations have appeared---case in point 66-67 Chevelles with 396 engines---there are probably more 396 cars running around now than GMever built---look for thr build sheet as well as warranty books previous owners etc.
