Next :pop What was the highest rated horsepower engine. This also has a second possible choice engine that had the same rating on the air cleaner but was actually factory rated at less.

Correct :winner The other possible answer that could also be correct (sorta) would be the 1966 427 high performance Corvette. Some of them came with a 450 HP decal on the air cleaner though the factory specs rate it as 425 HP.

I'm thinking the 2nd possible choice would be the L72 427? I remember seeing that some initially had the 450 HP rating on the air cleaner, then it was later changed to 425.

EDIT: Well damn, Ralph beat me to it!

455 engine, in the Hurst/Olds in 1969
400 engine, in the 442 in 1969

largest engine you could get in a 442 in 1969 was a 400
