I believe the 366ci. engine was used up until this point. it was also available on up into the 90's. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 173 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 173 | I know for a fact they offered the 366 in 73. We've got one sitting in the bushes here on the farm.

The 427 was quite common back then in the heavy gas burners. The 366 V8 first became available in 1966, replacing both the 409 and the 348. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | A quick check in my sources, it looks like 1968 was the first year for the Tall Deck 427.
