69 Impala SS427 question
Could a 69 SS Impala have a 335 hp 427 motor ? I have found conflicting info.
Some say only 390 and 425 hp available in SS and some say 335 hp was also available in SS. TIA |
Pretty certain 390 or 425 only. Believe the 390hp was a unique engine suffix for the SS427 only (rather than LC which was used on non-SS to designate 390hp).

Yes they had a 427-335 in 1969. Had a LE code. Tony, you had one for sale in 2018.
|
Correct, but I don’t believe 335hp was ever available in the SS427.
|
I'm going to vote no.
Traditionally, the 396 in passenger cars handled this horsepower range. That changed for the 1969 passenger car when the 2-bbl carb 265 hp engine was introduced as the only offering. I believe the 335 hp 427 was just covering the 325-350 hp no longer offered in the 396 passenger car. Information gathered from Colvins book and is just my opinion. Dave |
