Pretty sure that the -440 blocks were used on earlier cars, but I'm no expert..

One source I have indicates the "272" block was used from late Aug and/or early Sept/68 to June/69.

I've never heard of a 272 in the 68 model year Chevelles.

The 69 I just finished has a 272 block, an August car,, wat I understand is that the Atlanta plant never ran out of 272s,, like alot of the other plants did.
