I always thought the 402 replaced the 396.
QuoteI always thought the 402 replaced the 396.It did. There weren't any 369 engines installed in any production car or truck after mid August, 1969. They were all 402 engines. A lot of sites post incorrect information and even Chevrolet literature continued to call it the 396, the 402 AND the 400!Per the September/October, 1969 Chevrolet Service News and the NOVEMBER 16th, 1969 PRODUCT SERVICE BULLETIN, big blocks with the 1970 and later 3 digit engine codes are actually 402 (or 400, depending on what document you look at) cubic inch engines. This included the late 1969 Camaro big blocks. However, some Chevrolet advertising and sales literature still referred to the 402 (or again, the 400) engine as the 396. Not sure when all that ended, but it sounds like they had a heck of an argument about "size" in the marketing department!!Ed
