The engine was available through mid-1965, when it was replaced by the 396 cu in (6.5 L) 375 hp (280 kW) Mark IV big-block engine. In addition, a 340 hp (254 kW) version of the 409 engine was available from 1963 to 1965, with a single 4-barrel cast iron intake mounting a Rochester 4GC square-bore carburetor, and a hydraulic-lifter camshaft.
The L72 was a 427 cu in (7.0 L) 90° overhead valve V8 big-block engine produced by Chevrolet between 1966 and 1969. Initially rated at 450 horsepower, the rating dropped to 425 hp (317 kW) shortly after its release (although there was no change in power).
This was so named because it began with Chevrolet's V8 engines. Chevrolet big-block V8s; Chevrolet small-block V8s; GM Vortec 4300 90° V6; GM Iron Duke RWD inline 4 (early RWD Variants, later versions may use a FWD pattern, and have two possible starter locations) Jeep with GM Iron Duke inline 4 2.5L/151 in³ (1980-1983).
And casting dates would be well in advance of the assembly date of the engine. Numbers and dates track an accurate history of how a car was built and when and where the car and the parts used to create the car were made. If a car has number matching major components it helps define how collectible a car is. Number matching cars typically will ...
Note: this is commonly called the Ford Small-block V8 pattern, though it is used in some "big block"-sized V8's as well as some V6's and I6's. 200 I6 1978-1983 only, partial (4 of 6 bolts) pattern. 250 I6 (except Australian 250/4.1) 255 V8; 289 V8 - (made after August 3, 1964) - had 6 bolts holding bellhousing to block; 302 Cleveland (Australia)
1962 – The block's cylinder wall casting was revised to allow four-inch bores, and the 327-cubic-inch version of the engine, using this bore diameter and increased stroke, was introduced. 1967 - The oil filter mounting received an adapter and machining to allow the use of spin-on filters; canister mounting was possible by removing the adapter.
Look at the block casting number data for both engine blocks, you will notices that the early 305s had the same casting numbers as the 262 blocks. Second point too is the bore of the 305 is very close to 0.060" over the bore size of the 262 meaning that casting, boring out, and honing for this larger bore will not be an issue or require a ...
The RB engines, produced from 1959 to 1979, are raised-block (taller) versions of the B engines. All RB engines have a 3 + 3 ⁄ 4 in (95.3 mm) stroke, with the bore being the defining factor in engine size. All RB wedge engines share a deck height of 10.725 in (272.4 mm), and were fitted with 6.768 in (171.9 mm) long connecting rods, resulting ...
