The 72 Cheyenne Super pickup truck was advertised with available 400 "big block". 400 badging but a 402 in between the fenderwells.
And the Chevelle SS 396s were actually 402s in 1970. They didn't want to mess with the 396 badging since it was so iconic in itself. I imagine the 396 Camaros were 402s as well. I was under the understanding there were no more actual 396s after 1969.

LOL! Almost as bad as the alphabet soup they used on the 5th and 6th Gens. 2LS that's not an LS, it's an LFX. 1LT that doesn't have an LT. An LT1 that had an LT1 engine etc, etc!
