Well I these are my thoughts:

Either A) The pictured engine is in a different car (though I must admit the red seems to match). Or B) Its actually a cutlass that someone cloned into a 442 (did a damn good job if so). Or C) I have heard of people repainting the engines to try and turn it into a "sleeper" of sorts. Either make gold 350 blue so people think its bigger, or maybe the case here, make a blue 455 gold so people think it "only" has a 350. (LOL)

For what its worth, I'm pretty sure 71-72 had round parking lights on the front bumper that makes me lean towards it actually being a '70. Bumpers can be replaced too though... Sweet looking car reguardless.
