Thanks, for the Info. Yes I'm aware of the SS-350 and SS396 Camaros I was not aware of the earlier Years chevy put the big block in them. I sold a 69 ss 396 back in 84. I purchased it from my neighbor. Not being a fan of Camaros when I was doing my engine swap and purchasing my parts from a nationally known parts suppiler I was given that information on the 69 F-body as the only big block year??? My Trans-Am has the 72-chevy 402 casting#3969854, I also have an additional chevy 402 collecting dust in my garage. just two weeks ago I sold a 1966 396 engine casting#3855961. In 2003 I will purchase my first Mopar car a 76 Duster with a 440 engine this car run 10s thru the quarter mile.
