Congrat's on the new toy! One of the other guys, I think it was C.J. who posted a link to a FAQ site that has lots of information about your car. I use 442.com and go to their FAQ's page. Some of the guys have found errors there, but most of it's good data. Your car should have come with a 400 as you said. The 425 was used from 1965 through 1967. The 1968 W30 used a 400 and the Hurst Olds used a 455. The 425 is a potent engine so someone probably changed it in the past. Past my bedtime so I'll end with that. Some of the other guys will be able to add to it. John
