The 400 was an option in mid-'66 so it would be correct as well. And like Ed Snyder says, probably a better choice.

BTW- did anyone notice the NAPA invoice for cylinder head work? The customer was the Los Angeles Times, they had a large fleet of V-6 powered GMC tilt cabs running on propane.
Interesting about the head work, a while back I posted that IMPCO article you added that it probably had to be the same customer.

My 305 runs on propane too and it loves it.
