Default Re: 67 Caprice 427 - Any thoughts?

Although I don't know the 5J Suffix, some Canadian cars had unique Suffixes and we've discussed them here briefly in the past..
Most were Numeric/Numeric but some were an Alpha/Numeric mix..
The Gibb Novas had an Alpha/Numeric Suffix too!.

Looks like a nice car

Trim# 815 = Black SS Convertible (bucket seat)
Paint#948 = Honduras Maroon

You are correct, 340 HP is 63-4, 380 HP in 1962

Here is a link on other identifying characteristics of a 409 from the 348-409 site.

http://www.348-409.com/348409identify.html

The most obvious is the fuel line, is it routed outside or inside of the passenger upper control arm pivot?

Verne - correct me if I am wrong here on anything.
