I received a request to post a photo of a 1964 Impala with a 327/365 HP engine. He thought it may have been a COPO order. This is a "unicorn." There is no proof that any were built, especially in the Impala as you had the choice of going to the HiPo 409. 327/300 HP was the biggest small block.

Other "unicorns" are 365 HP Nova, Chevelle and El Camino. Again - no proof that the factory ever built any though it did come close on the 1964 Chevelle. They even assigned a 2 digit engine code for it:JS. But instead Chevy went with the new 396 in 1965. Chevy assigned 2 digit codes for engines installed in their cars . . . like DZ for 302/4 speed 1969 Z28 and HG for 1965 327 Fuelie Corvette with manual trans. There are no codes for the 327/365 HP engine installed in the Nova, Impala or El Camino.
