He would be correct...Bill Mitchell of World Products fame and Joel Rosen of Motion Performance.

Here's another 66 427 Biscayne from the Sheehan Brothers...perhaps they could tell some stories about this car.

You GM guys ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

TH 400 was actually introduced in 1964 in both the Buick and Cadillac lines.

1965 was indeed the first year for the TH 400 in a Chebbie.

Terry is correct.

Full size car only, optional behind the 396 big block.

That's my fathers 66 factory 427/425 Biscayne. This was the first modified Biscayne by Motion Performance. He raced it at National & West Hampton from 66 to 68. He drove it to work one day to Brooklyn N.Y. and it was stolen. I'm building a replica of the car and should have it out this summer.
