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

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)

Mine was built in July so...so far so good for accuracy of the April 64 start date.

Not sure about the 327 but my 64SS came from the factory with a 283 4spd

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.
