An original rad tag would help if there also did you happen to get engine castings/dates or distrib. #'s?
What engine callout emblems are there and does all look original from both sides of the fender?

I can't answer that Pete because I don't have the Finger Tip Facts for '65 which would list the standard equipment combinations. My guess is that they would be the same since the specs on the two engines are pretty close. I have to question the Feb build because I always believed there was about a month where all big block orders were held up for the changeover. I've spoken to original owners who tried to order an '09 in Jan and were told they couldn't get it. But since this sounds like an unrestored car, there should be plenty of believable evidence on it.
BTW, the &quot;2&quot; does mean a black top.
