Yes that is correct.
His is actually an SS with a Caprice grill.
Which allows him to run J/SA and good bit lighter!
SS nose would run K L M.
They got a lot invested in it to run that quick.
Think they broke several gears and one engine.
Use to run R/SA with the baby LT1.
The other well know Caprice now runs P/SA.
It was originally built by Bernie Steinke nicknamed Snowflake.
Later bought by Bryan Herter then by Corbitt Marshburn.
NHRA added a lot of HP on the mini LT1 as the national recorded was being hit between Don and Corbitt.
Cool days like today my car will run 12.90.
Figure maybe 3 more tenths left finding every last trick in the book.
Corbitt managed a cold air day best of 12.39 with his F/PS Impala SS before selling it.
My best on cold air day is a 12.68 105
Fwiw our cars have the same chassis as the 60/70/80 Chevelles, GTOs and mid/late 80s Impala and Caprice..
