Chevrolet 396 SS Super Sport (1966)

At that time, General Motors had a corporate policy which stated intermediate-cars could not have engines larger than 330 cubic inches, but it did not seem to apply on options. Pontiac got around the rules by promoting a 389-equipped GTO as a "special-option" Tempest model.

Back in the Chevy camp, the 1964 Chevelle was offered with either a 283ci or 327ci small-block engine. After Oldsmobile offered a 400-cid 442 and Buick a 401-cid Gran Sport in early 1965, that was all it took for Chevy to break GM's policy for A-body series engines.


The new Chevy big-block motor, at 396 cubic-inches, was scheduled for release in full-size Chevy's and Corvettes in 1965. It would be also be offered in the Chevelle with the Super Sport package.

Since the motor was starting production late in the season, it was decided to make a very limited run of SS396 Chevelle's. The special equipment option code was RPO (regular production order) Z16.
