nope.

this reminds me of a car a buddy bought 2yrs ago.  it was a 66 Satellite
that had been sitting since the 1970s.  he bought it from the original
owner's brother.  My buddy was buying the car for the engine, the 4spd,
and the SG rear, at about $500, so he didn't care if it was original
or not.  The seller swore up and down that it was exactly how his brother 
bought it in 1966 from the dealership.  It was a 440/4spd car.  It
looked very original,  spark plug heat deflectors on the manifolds,
all the correct looms and fasteners, original corbin clamps,,
everything youd expect to find on an original car that only on the road
for 10 years...  the seller convinced my buddy, not that it mattered,
but he did convince him....  I went down to help him with the 
dissection.  VIN engine code was a "G", FT reflected a 383 4bbl, 
everything pointed to a 383 4bbl car.  My buddy still insisted, 
saying how he had known the two brothers for twenty years and they 
weren't liars...  we pulled the engine...  67 440 with 915 heads,,, 
and a engine build date about 8 months aver the 66 Satellite's assembly
date.   the true knowledge of the details are certainly long gone, but 
that Satellite didn't come with that engine...  at least,, not from the 
factory. 

As of May 64,  the sales code for a Max Wedge became the sales code for
a Hemi.  at that point, no more MW's were sold.  Its likely that
left over parts were sold as replacement parts through Mopar distribution
channels....
