Is it true that you couldn't get a 327 in a 64 Malibu until April 64?

Bigblock Jul 21st, 99, 9:03 PM True from everything I've read or been told. My dad bought a '64 SS in January & the 283/4 brl was it. (he sold the car a few years later, for which I may never forgive him) ------------------ RussD Jul 22nd, 99, 2:34 PM Mine was built in July so...so far so good for accuracy of the April 64 start date. ------------------ Steve 64SS-327-4spd-sold to Original owner! In process of finding a 65 Team Chevelle Member #71 Jerry Acheson Aug 24th, 99, 3:02 PM Any more thoughts here? ------------------ Jerry Acheson Indianapolis, IN 64 Malibu SS 327 PG/PB/AC 65ss Aug 24th, 99, 5:18 PM Not sure about the 327 but my 64SS came from the factory with a 283 4spd ------------------ Ray{Surrey BC CAN} 65SS chevelle X 2 65 chevelle 2dr 65 el camino 64 el camino etc. team #241 gold www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Lane/7757 (http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Lane/7755) [This message has been edited by 65ss (edited 01-23-2000).] Cam Aug 24th, 99, 5:35 PM It sounds accurate. Chevy brought the Chevelle out as a return to sensibly sized cars after the bulky '58 & later Chevies (which are cool). The Chevelle was sized very close to what the 55-6-7 Chevies were, only lower to the ground. They even made the top engine the 283 power pack with 220 horsepower, like the '57 283-4V. After the GTO stole the thunder, Chevy dropped in the 327 late in the year in both 250 and 300 horse versions. Rumour has it that the Corvette 327/365 horse was offered as a COPO. | ||
