Default #270 blocks in COPOs?

Just curious if this was possible, as the 270 pre-dated the 512. Could early COPO cars have gotten left over 270s?

Just curious, as we have always "assumed" our block wasn't the original, as all we've heard is that it's supposed to be a 512, and the previous owner sold it as such. But, we tore it down the other night, and noticed the correct stampings (dated Feb. in a March car), in the correct places, and wondered. It also appears to be standard bore.
