If I have my facts correct and that's a big IF...it seems that 1970 was the year the the 396 and 402 terms were used interchangeably. My truck SPID say 396 but it is a 402 with 400 emblems ...that may have carried over into 71 and 72. It's sort of like the CST package. The least year for that package was 70 but in 71 some trucks read CST verses Cheyenne...go figure.

LONGHAIR....you make some valid points.
