Paul: Chevrolet did not make a 1965 409/425 motor for production cars. The 409/400 was the largest "W" motor that year. The "W" 409/400 and the 409/340 were phased out midyear and the 396/325 and the 396/425 and the limited chevelle only Z16 396/375 were to replace the two "W" 409 motors.

Paul Ceasrine · 05-14-2013, 11:26 AM

BigSix,

Yes, I know.

The 409/400 HP was the highest Horsepower 'W' Engine available for the 1965 Chevrolet.

The 'W' 409 Engine production ended on February 1, 1965.
