One important thing to check on the Chevelle is the engine block casting number because I will show you if the car is authentic. The engine block casting number is going to say “3902406” on the number. This means that the car has an authentic L35 engine, the one that was used in the car. Although there are a lot of engine choices from this generation the particular engine was specific to this car (via It Still Runs).

Looking for the engine block casting number isn’t hard, and it’s something that you’ll want to do. When it comes to finding an authentic muscle car the most important thing is to make sure that the numbers match. The Chevelle is one of the most iconic cars on the road and the SS396 is the holy grail muscle car in the segment.
