Paul, Wasn't the full-sized 396-265 shown on the car as a 400ci. 2 bbl. ? (My grandfather had a gold '69 4 door Bel Air with this combo.)

Re: 1969 Chevrolet
 

K-Man,

I don't remember the front fender 'emblem', but I think in 1969 it still was '396'

I do remember seeing a few Biscaynes 'Sedan/Post Car' with '4' Tail-Lights in the Rear Bumper,
with the 396/265 HP ~ 2-Barrel.

396/265 HP 'L-66'

Another 'Odd-Ball' combination.

1969 NHRA Class {14.00 to 14.99 Wt/Hp} = M/S or M/SA

Re: 1969 Chevrolet
 

Of course it was a long , long time ago. Yes it had "396" badges above the fender amber reflectors, but I thought I remember the air cleaner lid stating "400".

Just out of curiosity the '69 Camaro Z/28 302 cross ram 343hp was a over the counter dealer option is not in the classification guide because it's just that?

Thx,

Re: 1969 Chevrolet
 

I had a wagon with that motor still have the intake , carb , and air cleaner one year only in the big cars.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet
 

I remember seeing a 1969 Impala 'For Sale' in 1973 - with a '396' Emblem on the front fender.

Beautiful 'Garnet Red' with Rally Wheels, black interior w/Bucket Seats and Console with the Slap-Stick Automatic.

Even had 'Dual-Exhaust'. It sounded nice too.

Popped the hood, and 'Wham'............... 'a 2-Barrel'.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet
 

A friend of mine bought a 396 2 barrel new in 1969. The "farmer" Impala could have been a twin. Not very good on gas as I remember.

He pulled the radiator cap when it was hot, had on a polyester jacket, it melted to his arms, nice 2nd degree burns, took awhile for him to heal.

My grandfather love to Trout fish and leave northern Iowa in the winter. Pulled a heavy dual axle camper with a 327 '64 Bel Air. He needed a new Chevy in '69 I remember he wanted a bigger camper so a big block was in order. I also remember he wasn't happy with the fuel economy when towing with it. It left in '73 for a C10 then a new bigger camper.
