New 3.0t MKZ owner here

[Multitask]

All I remember is that it was 1cc larger... so maybe a 429 ?  I remember it was a CHP Cruzer at one time...

white with black interior... ugh... 

I have a pic of it at home... but it looked like this

Good luck, I never could keep track of all the different engines. I pulled the rod-busted 355 from my '63 LeSabre and replaced it with a 410 Wildcat. Folks still tell me neither engine existed. I don't bother telling them about the 2-speed auto trans.

Well, each GM division had its own separate and distinct line of engines, and the same basic block came in various sizes. This was further complicated by Buick which named their engines using their torque ratings instead of displacement.   There was a Buick 355, but it was a 300C.I.  Was that an engine swap?  The 63 LeSabre came with a 401c.i. engine standard. Don't even get started with the endless iterations of the Chevrolet small block starting in 1955 and continuing to today, albeit completely evolved over the years.

Thanks. The more I think about it, my '63 LeSabre wagon had a 401 and it was a loaner '62 or '64 sedan with a 355. I just remember it was a year off from the '63. They put in a 410 from a Wildcat that had been hit from behind. Garage promised no damage to the engine as the bell & trans casings were intact and we were keeping my transmission anyway. They had the tranny from the Wildcat sold and I got a good price for the swap giving them the (401?)410 and not being in a hurry. It was Summer and I had a motorcycle and rain suit.
