When secured to the front crossmember of the Chevelle SS for 1966, the base version of the 396 made an advertised 325 hp, achieved with technical specifications that included hydraulic lifters, a 10.25:1 compression ratio, a cast-iron intake manifold, and usually a Rochester four-barrel carburetor.
In 1965, Chevrolet changed all that with the introduction of the 396 V8. The 396 was offered in a variety of horsepower ratings including the Corvette L78 396 that produced a whopping 425 horsepower and the Chevelle Z-16 396 that put out an impressive 375 horsepower.
