Did 71 396`s come with cowl induction? I heard only 454`s came with cowl induction in 71.

You may be right, I actually am doing a 70 SS396 with cowl induction, all original except engine and trans. i found a 71 LS3 which I am putting in it, it was complete except no carb, so I want to find the right carb for the engine, or alternatively the right carb for a 70 and hope to put a correct engine in it some day

71 402 motors came with a Rochester Quadrajet and the numbers were:
7041200 with an automatic trans.
7041201 with a manual trans.

The '71 LS5 454 also came with those
same two carbs (7041200 or 7041201).

Stracer, I believe that only 454's came from the factory with Cowl Induction, however, it was possible to get the dealer to install Cowl Induction on even an SS 350.
