'63-'66 is the same as 383-400 except bore size as you said.

If you want to get picky the 361-3 was used in industrial and truck applications into the 70's. '66 was the last year for pass. car use which is what I meant to say in my first post. And 413coronet, I keep making that mistake...for some reason I always think '62 was the cutoff year even though I know it's '61.
