When did the first 350 c.i. small blocks show--'67? Some mind-refreshing help on these 60's combos please, and pardon my ignorance... WJ

I am pretty sure the 350 SBC was first available in 1967 only in SS optioned camaros-295 hp factory rating. In 1968 the 350 was again offered in SS camaros and in Chevy IIs only. I would guess the 350 Chevy II was an SS option also rated at 295. Not sure when the 350 started showing up in trucks. In 1969 the 350 was available in just about everything at several HP ratings.
