CJB Suffix Block - 396/325 w. Aluminum Heads

[talwell]

I ran across a 396/402 block that is coded CJB. According to the guides this is as follows:

CJB 1969 Camaro 402 325 PG L-35 alum hd

I dont recall seeing any aluminum head 396's except for the L-89 cars. Is this something that is just wrong in the guides or was there another lower hp aluminum headed 396 made?

That's because there <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">aren't</span></span> any aluminum head 396's except the L89's.

Yes, I'd say you need a new 'guide'.

Every guide I located on the internet all have the same error - I knew something did not sound right so I checked many of them and all refer to the L35 w. aluminum heads.

Wouldn't a CJB be a Camaro 402-325 manual trans block? Didn't 396's became 402's late in '69?

Yes that is correct.
