On that one I am going with the concept that all too many people refer to any six as a V6 just as a lot of people think that once a small block Chevy V8 gets put in a hot rod or old truck it automatically becomes a "Corvette engine"

In the 60's the local Chevy dealer that belonged to one of my Classmate's family sold about 3 Corvettes a year while they sold about six pairs of Corvette finned valve covers a month. They always had at least three sets of the valve covers on the shelf both staggered and straight across bolt patterns plus at least 3 098 cams on the shelf. They sold dozens of those cams. Valve covers or the cams ran just a bit over 30.00 Pretty big dollars in a high school kid's budget in 1964.
