Re: '69 396 2-barrel
If anybody in the Northwest felt the urge to build such a combo, I was at the Monroe Swap Meet in Monroe WA yesterday, and I saw a 69 396 2 barrel intake, carb and air cleaner assembly there for 50 bucks. It may still be there today.

Re: '69 396 2-barrel
I am in the middle of a full restoration of my 1969 Impala.
Raced for decades the chassis needed a lot of repair and updated the frame. Got it all powder coated. Body has been rebuilt removing rust. Just need a new hood. May have to sell it. The 396/265 2v is doable combination. Car works well with the 350/255/275 combo. Natural L car and move up to K or with weight to M. The 350/250/245 2v is a better combo than the 396. That combo is a N,O,P depending on weight. D |

Re: '69 396 2-barrel
This talk brings back memories...My Dad was shopping for a new car at the local Chevy
dealer back in '69 and the salesman suggested a 265hp wagon which we looked at... (he didn't buy it). In the mid '70's...I saw a 427/335hp wagon at Indy in Stock...D3 car I believe...don't remember class...(or the times it ran).... I saw the yellow '69 wagon run...was the guy's name Curtis? Think W.A. Lee tried the 350/250 2bbl in a big wagon once...Remember him running a gray-primered car.... '69 350/250 now at 230hp? That should be the one to consider! |
