Can you settle an argument?

In reference to the SS hood fin patterns, my recollection was that the long fins were on the mouse motor cars while the "square cube pattern' indicated a Rat was under the hood. (SS350 or SS396 ,67,68,69)

Maybe, but .......

" For the 1968 model year, the chromed hood trim for SS396 changed from the simulated finned cooler to a set of simulated carburetor velocity stacks. The early 1968 model year SS350 continued to receive the 1967-style finned hood trim, but the SS350 trim transitioned to the velocity stack trim as the year progressed. The simulated velocity stack continued for the 1969 model year with all SS cars using this same hood trim. Related to this, the part number for the 1968-69 hood is different than 1967, with the only noticeable difference being the drains used with the velocity stack trim. "
