<p>[QUOTE="bugo, post: 2314351, member: 53226"]Multi-carb engines were banned for the 1967 model year on all GM cars except for the Corvette, in one of GM's boneheaded moves to protect the Corvette. Another boneheaded GM rule was the 400 cubic inch limit for intermediate cars until the 1970 model year. Ford was putting (a few) 427s in Fairlanes and Comets and Chrysler was happy to sell you a 426 or 440 Satellite/GTX/Road Runner/Coronet/Super Bee. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of GM cars of that era, but they could have been so much more without corporate edicts that emasculated some of the cars.</p><p><br /></p><p>The '67 Impala SS427 was intended to be available with three deuces, but the corporate ban came into effect and it was cancelled. This is the reason the Impala has the chrome pieces on the hood that are meant to represent triple carburetion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
