Its like every small block chevy came from a Corvette.

I feel compelled to say unknown because zero new car documentation has turned up. No documentation like a mid-1960s bill of sale for the engine has turned up. People have hunted. Having a real good idea about anything about any subject does not mean it can be substantiated in any way. Think about current my quest to learn what the engine core in CSX2008 is today. Somebody just days ago looked for me and took some pictures but the pictures did not positively identify what I was interested in. I can just read enough to know it started off as a prototype something. Even if we determine what the car has today, that does not prove it was using the same engine in 1962.
