Question To be a 442 or not?

Hi i am new and wanted to get feedback.
Let me tell you I have a 1967 that had no paperwork buildsheet and not an origional motor. I broke the rear and threw it out and replaced it so I have no info on that "My mistake" but i am trying to mend my ways.
I attached a pic of my cowl Tag
I have researched and found this out.

Below is what I think i have figured out.
Am i on the right track?

Oh other picks are of an engine I scored for $500.
I think it is correct and in line for my build date of O6B because 114 is on stamped near the distributor. Julian for April 26 1967 = 6 weeks prior to build of car "Second Week of June"

Looks like you may have scored a highly optioned
442. Nice. Do you have the 400 E-block as well?
the tic-tock-tac in those is worth a pretty penny
by itself. good luck with the project and welcome.

That will have to be another day soon. I lost old picks on old computer. It is darkout now so i can't take any.I have most of it in the basement in boxes. It is stripped and off the frame. I have the frame in black emeron about 10 years old now. The shell is getting that glossy rust look. I get sick when i see it but have been very itchy to get going again on it. I love this sight i have been getting charged up just looking stuf up and reading other posts. cool stuff now to roll up the sleves and start something. thanks.

Wow! Great car! I wish you the best in getting it all back together. It'll be well worth the effort to get her as correct as possible.

I had all but, no origional 400 "found a 67 400 to build" had no AC, no Cruise, under hood no origional radio, UHV ignition was there but disabled, "probably not working" Power rear antenna was not working. Sad thing was it was running fine! Took it apart with good intentions got it all apart, Me and the wife blasted the frame, got it in prime then black emeron, and lost the access to the garage I was doing the work at. I brought it to someone and it sat there for 16 months, got frustrated and towed it home and parts are in cellar now. I figure I have to move on this before it is too late. Love this sight it just gets me fired up when i am posting and reading.

Great project, worthy. 5V body tag says real 442. UHV system is pretty rare, and I have some experience with and parts for that. Huge factory blueprint of the UHV amplifier and hookups. Sounds like you need a proper 12-bolt for it.

I posted a question on another thread but seeing you mention it----
What rear end would the factory have installed?
1967 442
3 speed auto on center console.
Has AC
10 or 12 bolt?
Posi?
gears?
