The 195 HP V/8 was not an optional engine in 1967. If you wanted a V/8 in the Chevy II 100 series you ordered a 114, in a Nova 400 it was 116, and SS 118. There was a designated V/8 model number for each series and the 195 HP/283 was the engine all V/8 cars came with unless an optional V/8 was ordered. Four and six cylinders were similarly designated by model number. The engines on the order sheet are the optional engines. Hope this makes sense. Bob
