    any bbc will fit that bill long as you stay with the 396-502 9.800 deck moving up to the 366to 427 tall deck 10.200 blocks will take abit more money and more work to make things fit. the 366 is not the block to use you can get more out of a 427 tall deck by using a 4.250or 4.500 crank to get more CID and other things can be done crank rods pistons to the 396to502 blocks for more cid as well as other blocks that are made but i will not get in to all that .a 396 pistons are abit more then lets say a 454 but they all take the same gaskets cam rod main bearings .cam lifters .oil pump rods .oil pans tin if there all mark 4s the older 65/67 396 /427 took a grooved cam and dif cam bearings
