Sorry, but thats wrong.

Ever hear of the SS396 Camaro's?

67-72 SS Camaro's came with the 396. After January 1970, however, the 396 engines no longer displaced 396 cubic inches. Chevrolet actually enlarged them to 402 cubic inches but the executives decided to name it the 396 to take advantage of the name recognition and avoid any attention from insurance carriers. It was also reffered to as Turbo Jet 400 in some cases.
