1965 396-425HP corvette Z16 engine

[olredalert]

-----Verne has gotten across what I was trying to say. There was no 396/425 motor factory installed in a 1965 Chevelle. Only 1965 Corvettes and a very few 1965 full size Chevys got the solid-lifter motor. The Z16 1965 Chevelle motors were 375 horsepower and had hydraulic cams although they appeared visually to be exactly the same as a 425HP. I hope my post didnt come across badly. Just stating the facts........Bill S

I was stating that this could be used as a Z16 motor as well as being used as the original 396-425HP set up that is originally was. The casting numbers are all the same and the chevelle used a different carburetor number and exhaust manifolds as well as a different distributor but all of the main components I have advertised could be used for one application or the other. Maybe it was my error to advertise it the way people advertise this on ebay. I see chewhoe in California selling these blocks decked and as a long block minus the intake as a corvette or Z16 applicaion because the front pad information is misssing. I wasn't trying to confuse anyone just stating the facts that the casting numbers are interchangeable.
