Someone has to christen this section! A little bit of Acadian trivia: The only 327 available in a 66 Acadian was an L79, the 350 horse 327! Other engine choices were 194 6 cyl or 283 2 barrel. Pretty much one extreme or the other as far as horsepower goes! -- Edited by Carl Stevenson at 23:12, 2008-01-18
