Any truth to this 396/402 update?

The statement above is the reason I inquired as to what model year car was in question. If this person bought the car in 68, then it was either a 68 (or older) or a early production 69 model. In either case, there was no wholesale .030&quot; overbore of 396 engines from the factory in that time frame, hence such an example could indeed have been some sort of 'mistake' from the factory.
