Re: 1971 Big Block Exhaust Manifolds???????

My '71 has "396 V-8 Engine" on the SPID and 8-400 badges on the front fenders so the "400" designation was used for the big blocks too.

True. And I didn't know for certain the 396 came in a 71. Must have been "left-overs". I don't believe any 71-72 Chevy came with a small block 400. When it comes to 400s, the information can be kind of sketchy. Sometimes you don't know what the block they're talking about. They should have called the 402 a 402, all the time.

I developed an assembly guide (kit) for restoring this truck from the ground up, complete with details including full hardware descriptions. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM. My build thread, with some info. about the assembly kit https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
