Re: NOVA L79 WAGON????
[ QUOTE ]
No 327 350Hp in any 66 Chevelle. Not Available. In 65,67 and 68 Yes. But for some unknown Reason not in 66. Mike [/ QUOTE ] My understanding is that in 1966, because the Chevelle was debuting with it's BIG BLOCK 396. ( 65 Z-16 was sort of the testing of the waters for this ) All 66 SS Chevelles would be getting as a Base engine; 396/325hp. This was Chevy's big dog so ta speak, so it didn't seem to make sense for them to sell a 66 Chevelle L-79 which would essentially have more HP than their New Base model SS. So, the L-79 was not, to my knowledge, released for Chevelles in 1966, but then was offerred in 1967 Chevelles. Mike
