Advance lists it as a 350, not sure about Autozone.

And because of the fact that they list it as a 350, the idiots that program in the parts for the car think that Gen I 350 parts are also the same. So if you order headers or intake or any number of other parts, they will be completely wrong.

The number of parts incorrectly listed in the Advance system catalog is astounding, in any given car you can find at least one part thats obviously not right, and often nothing is done to correct the issue.

According to Advance, a Shelby GT500 KR uses the same single piston brake calipers as a Mustang V6, which is obviously 100% wrong. Amazing how completely obvious screw ups slip under the radar unnoticed.

I wouldnt trust a computer that asks what size engine my truck has when Im looking for wiper blades to get my cubic liters correct...lol

Stock is reffered to as a 346, if its bored to 3.905(usually done on rebuilds due to a better piston selection) I believe its a 347, not sure what combo makes it a 348.

How the **** do you get 3+ pages out of a question on LS1Tech asking what the displacement of an LS1 is?

Try telling those kids at the parts counter that you have an 01' Camaro with a 7.0 liter, that really throws them for a loop.
