Default VIN discrepnancy.

So I have a 1997 K2500 GMC Suburban with the 7.4 (454) that is in great condition 103,000 original miles. I know it's all original yet every VIN look up I do says it has the 350. Anyone else ever found discrepancies when doing VIN look ups?

Maybe someone blew a motor. And replaced it with the 454

Thanks, I was almost 100% it was original, but stranger things have happened.

most of the vin look up info sites never get it all correct.
