AFAIK and this is speculation . . . both options defied corporate's ban of engines in mid sized cars that were less than 10 pounds per 1 horsepower. Yet in 1966 the L79 was in the Chevy II brochure. |

Maybe it was because the Z28 was a complete option package and not just an engine option? Who knows.

By 1970 the Muscle Car Era was perched on the edge of a cliff so to speak. Pushing it to that point was the Insurance Industry along with the Fed. One year later - it fell off that cliff. Last edited by Lee Stewart; 08-14-2017 at 12:39 PM. |

True. I forgot about the ban being lifted in 1970, but I guess that's what confused me a little. The brochure in the first post was from 1970 and it didn't list the solid lifter engine options. Maybe the brochure was designed-printed prior to the ban being rescinded.

I think I've seen 396/375 mentioned in literature several times, but that's the exception. I'd have to look to see which items I've seen 'em in.
