Dale, Are you sure about there not being 396's in the '70? Reason I ask, I have read somewhere, that the early '70 model year still carried the 396, and that sometime around the end of December '69 - January '70 there was a change in the displacement to 402 cubic inches. Due to the amount of publicity promoting the SS396 through the years, there was no need to change it to the SS402. Just would not have the same "ring" to it.
Kent '68 Malibu ZZ502/502 :) ACES #5102 Bad clone, BAD CLONE. :*) There were no 396's after 69 but the 70 still used the 396 badge and GM still promoted them as SS396 due to the popularity of the size instead of trying to hop everyone up with a ~402~ designation. Again, only the 454 got any engine size badging on the side in 72.
