RE: [Chevelle-List] 396 engine in 71 & 72?

[396guy]

The engines actually displaced 402 cubic inches but the "SS396" was such a recognizable name, GM kept it.  The 402 came in to being in late '69 I think replacing the ~real~ 396 cubic inch engine.   Dale -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chad Playso Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2002 5:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] 396 engine in 71 & 72? was there a 396 produced in 71 and 72?  i just passed a 72 chevelle that looked like a SS and it said SS 396?  i thought the only things they produced for SS were 350's and 454s?  correct me please.
