Our friends at OVER-DRIVE Magazine have published everything you want to know about 1967 CHEVY 396/427: BIGGER IS BETTER full & mid-size models.
Chevrolet expanded its use of four-barrel big-block engines in 1967, offering 396/325 and 396/385 versions in full-size Biscayne, SS and Impala models and 396/350 and 396/375 engines in Camaros and Chevelles. GM divisions were prohibited from using tri-power induction on passenger car engines, barring the use of 427/400 and 435 horsepower Corvette engines at Chevrolet. In 1968, the 427/425 big-block, right, became available in full-size Chevys. Baldwin-Motion transplanted high-horsepower 427s in 1967 full & midsize models.
The full-size 1967 model was redesigned with enhanced Coke bottle styling that featured front and rear fender bulges, making the car appear larger than the previous year, though it was not. The L72 425-horsepower 427 CID V-8 engine was not available in 1967, with only the 427/385 big-block as the top high-performance option.
The mid-size 1967 Chevelle SS 396 Sport Coupe was the top-of-the-line Chevelle in performance and luxury. When equipped with the 375 horsepower 396 big-block V-8, it could kick ass!
