Default Re: Need 400 SB and BB info

the 400 small block was 70-76(pass car apps, used later in trucks til 8?) never rated at more than 265hp. 4bbl used only 74-76

my question is, were the 400 fender emblems used on both small and big block Chevelles and wagons in 1970?

or, 70 Chevelle 402BB got the 396 label, right?

I think it got 400 badges. However, I wonder what the air cleaner decal said?

If I recall - if it was an SS then it received SS396 badges on the fender and 396 decal on air cleaner lid (L34? or L78 engine), if it was not an SS it received Malibu 400 badges on fender and there is some debate on what the air cleaner lid decal - if any - was since it was a different engine (LS3 engine).
