Is it possible that there was a Cuda and a Challenger produced with the same VIN numbers stamped in the block (assuming their sequence numbers were the same)? Doesn't the 0E (zero, e) mean it came out of a 1970 E=body? THANKS!!

I know they built Cuda's there, what else? what size engine ? no big blocks in A bodies in 70 so it would rule them out if its a big block , no 340's in 70 b bodies so it would rule them out if it's a 340 ...
