4. The 265 was the first, then the 283, 327 and finally the 350.

all descendants of the 265.

I think there were bored out 283 variants... 301 and 302 came along in the early '00s...first by performance shops then by GM itself.

283, much easier to get parts Shellback Squid May 2024 #1

Agreed. And it's descendants, so to speak, are still available as 350 ci crate engines... brush May 2024 #2

Had a '56 chev with a 265; similar to the 283. Loved it. Permanut May 2024 #3

My 65 Chevy had a 283, the lead sled, I was up in Maine, and it was down 3 quarts, great engine for a moron. dem4decades May 2024 #5

Just my two cents.. Permanut May 2024 #6

I remember them...the long, near fastback look. brush May 2024 #7

I beg to differ, the 65 Impala was okay, the 2 door, 67 Impala was beautiful. We had a marine blue one, with dem4decades May 2024 #8

Roger that.. Permanut May 2024 #9

Okay, but you could argue that both the 67 and 68 had triple taillights, only the 67's were classy; the 68's were stupid dem4decades May 2024 #10

I'll give ya that; they went downhill from there. Permanut May 2024 #11

Actually, I stopped paying attention after that. The 57 through 67 Impala's were the bomb. Okay, maybe not the 61. dem4decades May 2024 #12

Same here.. Permanut May 2024 #13
