the 65 396 Vette fit A / Stock? Like i stated I am just curious.
Thanks in advance, Alan jr.

The original Z-16 1965 Chevelle (396) used a Hydraulic cam and was rated at 375 HP from the factory. The 65 396/425 Hi HP Vette used the same SOLID LIFTER cam as a 427/425 Vettes, Camaro, Big cars, and later 396/375 HP(1966 and up) Chevelles. It had .520 lift. Superfan 1 is correct on the later HP ratings with the replacement parts.
