Shevelle Jan 24th, 09, 4:22 PM ALL SS versions came with a base 396/325 and then two options of a 360 and 375hp... No 427 Malibus could have small block engines, but no 396 ;) furball8994 Jan 24th, 09, 4:41 PM 66 chevelle's (non SS) came with any of these engines. 194ci I6, 230ci I6, 283ci V8, or 327ci V8. Super Sports came with only one engine size offered in three HP ratings. 396ci 325hp (L-35), 360hp (L34) or 375hp (L78). six7witha4spd Oct 21st, 09, 1:11 AM COPO (L88, iron block alum. heads) chevelles or dealer installed ZL1's had 427 inch big blocks. kettbo Oct 21st, 09, 2:37 AM There were Canadian built cars, SS 327 in 66 but with a slightly different package name....fairly uncommon IIRC. davewho1 Oct 21st, 09, 3:18 AM COPO (L88, iron block alum. heads) chevelles or dealer installed ZL1's had 427 inch big blocks. NOT in 1966!! 1966_L78 Oct 21st, 09, 3:19 PM As others have mentioned... 1966 Chevelles (US built) only came with (this is just the V8s) 283, 327 and 396s. The SuperSports ALL had 396. All other Chevelles could only have the 283 or 327. The one official exception was the El Camino, where the 396 was optional... There have always been stories about 427s, but those were not "officially" installed by the factory (alot of "dealer" installs), so there would be no way to document one anyway (no built sheet or window sticker)... The Canadian Malibu SS was different from the US built SS396. The US SuperSport was not a "Malibu" in 1966 The COPO 427s came in 1969, basically because several dealers (Like Yenko and Gibbs) were tired of needing to swap 396s for 427s for their customers... So they found a way to special order the 427 while bypassing GM's offical ban on the 427 in anything but Corvette/Full-size... SPARK69 Oct 21st, 09, 3:28 PM NOT in 1966!!and not in 1967 either!! waynechev66 Oct 21st, 09, 9:37 PM i have a 66 Malibu Super Sport with a 327 4 speed it was made in Canada , Oshawa,ont rbwjr325 Oct 22nd, 09, 7:37 AM Wrong!
