While the fender tag should reflect the engine correctly, it
is very important to verify the fender tag actually 
belongs to that car!   The "So number" on the tag will
be stamped into the radiator core support.  The number
on the core support starts with a digit that describes
the manufacturing plant, and then it continues with the SO#.

On my 64 Dart the number is on top of the core support, under
what was once the coolant information sticker.  On my 63 330
(b-body), its on the side of the core support that faces the
engine bay (driver's side), as it is on my 66 Coronet.

if this guy did a full restoration, he ought to be familiar
with number.  If he applied so much paint that its not readable
and he isn't happy sanding the paint down to be able to read the
number,  hopefully he can produce some pre-paint process pictures 
that would convince you that the fender tag matches the car.

Also, be aware that fender tag are reproduced, sometimes with
incorrect data....
