i don't know if thats a word but heres the story
we pulled the original 365 to get rebuilt and blue pringed. I went today to check it out because it had just come back. It turns out the motor is actually a 390....we believe that the factory had probally run out of 365's since they started putting in 390s in 59...and since there were no more 365's they put in a 390. We don't think it's a different motor then stock because the guy who rebuilt it believes that the motor has less then 50K on it which it states on the odometer. This could turn out to be a different motor. But it's all still pretty cool.
