Re: this is not a Chevy



Not to waste bandwith but:

1.  a 350 Chevy engine is a small block.  A 402 is a Big Block
2.  Chevy didn't make an aluminum small block in '69 (IMHO)

But you did the right thing to sell it.

 Chris,
 
 396 was not the original engine displacement. I believe the casting started
 life as a 350 (which can hit 402). I dont know the vendor of the block, I
 assumed it was a C.O.P.O. block from the 69 production run (only sold for
 off highway use) >>
