I had read somewhere that the 396's ('66 - '69) actually measure out to be a 402, but were called 396 to just come under some criteria at that time. Anyone else able to support this?Krister
GM had a policy in the 60's that all mid size and smaller cars couldn't have engines over 400 CI. The policy was changed in the 70's to allow the 454's and 455's in Chevelles, 442s, GTOs, and Buick GSs.
