The engine in the '65 Vette was indeed a 396 425 Horse. This engine was available in 1965.... the 427 was not generally available then. The 425 HP 396 in 65 'Vettes was basically the same as the L-78 375 HP 396 found in later cars. I believe the only real difference was a minor change in in the carburetor used. The 425 HP 396 was also installed in a very few 1965 Chevelles, as the fabled Z-16 option.
