Very true. It does not mean it made production. But if you owned that test car today - say someone hauls it out of a barn next week with some of the road-tester's handwritten notes in the glovebox - it would be considered a factory built 1971 LS6 Chevelle. That is all I am saying.

But that's where I disagree again - there's no saying what the car started out as. For all we know, it could have been a regular Malibu 350 that was converted to an SS454 for more promotional purposes.

This doesn't answer my question.

The reason I possed it was to see if the engines WERE coded in order to keep them seperate for over the counter sales applications OR simply for installation applications on the vehicle assembly line. This COULD determine if these engines were in fact slated for new vehicle installation.
