Thank you for your help. my car has a 330 4bbl(WG code). I thought all 442s came with 400?

 

No need to post the same thing in more than one place. This was answered in your other thread.

 

OK. Sorry.

 

I'm new.

 

All 66 442's did come with a 400. The Cutlass came with the 330.

 

It's ok. Just don't let it happen again.

 

It should have a 400. Next to the oil filler tube, the cast-in ID on the block should be 390925E.

 

I guess I have some research to do. Maybe it's a different motor?

 

Is there anyway to find out what the car came with without the build sheet? Where can I find the build sheet in the car?

 

Welcome to CO! Post some pics of your new ride when you get a chance.

 

I doubt very seriously you will find a build sheet/broadcast card for a 66 Lansing car. If your car has the 5V,it's a 442 and it came with a 400 engine. I got 400 engines for sale.

 

What year?

 

If the WG is the engine unit number prefix and suffix and the block number is 394417, what you have is the 320 HP 330. If the large cast number on the left side of the cylinder head (as you face it) is 3, it is a '66 engine, if it is 4, it is a '67 engine. That is, of course if the head, block, and internals have not been swapped.
That is a screaming under-recognized small block combo in itself.

 

If you're asking me what year 400 engines I have,I have 66 & 67 engines for sale.

 

Thank you Kurt.

 

400s still for sale?

 

No,very old ad,thanks for asking.
