Results: My Dart vs 1969 Chevy Chevelle "396"

I'm sure with enough work the 396 is a formidable running engine. However I've yet to be impressed by any stock or mild 396 in a Chevelle. Maybe in a Nova it would be quick. However from my first hand experience with one in a Chevelle, a good running small block Chevy would eat it's lunch. Even Chevy people look the other way regarding a 396 unless it's a numbers matching resto thing. If a 396 Chevelle is considered fast, then a 383 RoadRunner must be a beast.
