396? It looks like a 5.7L (350) ZR-1 motor, circa 1990-95...

Addendum, the motor I referred to was designated LT5, the car was a ZR-1.

You're right Skip. But the story doesn't end with the displacement it was
originally built with.

Wellllll.....other than using an engine I would not recommend as a first
choice, if this was the only way to keep that beautiful shape on the road,
so be it.
At least it doesn't have a "Group Five Look Aero Kitt" and chrome 22s.

D'Oh! Whoever made that show card meant to use the word "capable" when they
wrote "comparable".

Nice to see I'm not the only bad typist on the planet.

Hmm, I remember reading somewhere that an Achilles Heel of the quad cam
small block was that there was very little room for upsizing. I guess
either what I read was wrong, or the 46 ci involved was the upper limit...
