Question Pace Car curious

Hey folks,
was surfing recently and came across a “1970 Cutlass pace car”. I always thought the true pace car was a W30 442 vert.
got me scratching my head. No big deal but .......

The two cars that were actually used to pace the race had hand-built motors. The replicas and parade cars came in both 442 (non-W motors) and Cutlass Supreme (with 350) flavors.
