Hello ALL: Interesting topic and it brought back quite a few memories. I didn"t see many comments on the Chev 396 & 427 engines. I bought a near new 1965 Corvette built late in 65 with the 1st big block ment to replace the 327 fuel injected engine. I think there were only 1,500 396-425hp engines sold. Some trouble keeping traction below 30 but 30 to 130 was never beat by any and that includes hemi"s. First Vet to make 0-60mph under 5seconds. Colector item now, $5200 new. The 427 425hp replaced it. True this was in a car and not subject to pulling a trailer for 200k miles but they were popular during the mid to late 1960"s muscle cars.. For long running pulling, my dodge 318 was very good standard engine for me. And my friends Dodge 413 could pull mountains without even breaking a sweat. Wish I had another chance to drive a few of those engines again... A few other engines I had for a while were: The 389 Tri-Powered (3- 2barrels from factory) Pontiac in a "58 Bonneville, I Pontiac overhead cam "66 Sprint six. 300 cube Ford six in a F700 flatbed. The rest of the many I had were the usual standard engines. The Corvettes 396/427s were the most fun. agpilot

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
