The block is a 454 used from 72-75 in the Chevelle, up to 76 in passenger cars
thru 76 and trucks until 79. Also used in the vette in 72.
The 3919840 was on the 396 from 67-69 and on the 427 from 67-70. It is a closed

I just used Goodmark full quarters on a 1971 Cutlass Supreme convertible (I

Price does mean a lot. If you shop around you can probably save a couple
hundred dollars.

Unfortunately it will get to the point that some will choose to leave the list.
What a shame.
As for the Chevelle, I hope to still be able to squeeze in a few more weeks.
