1969 Chevelle SS 396 identification
Hello folks
So besides a 37 in the trim tag as in 13637 original engine gone can you identify a SS396 from a Malibu? Thanks |

The only thing definitive is a 76 or 72 paint code. The “L” seems to also be a strong indicator but not sure if it’s 100% conclusive.

37 in the trim tag is not an SS indicator at all during 1969.

Thanks folks. So where can the build or broadcast sheet be located on a 69 if even still there?

If you have an "L" on the bottom line of the trim tag, that has been a fairly consistent indicator of an SS from the Baltimore line. To get Super Sport money though, you'd still need a numbers matching BB engine or solid paperwork.
Good luck. Phil W. |
