The 425 was custom made for him I would assume, since the car orignally had a 425.

The rumored LS7 that that prototype crate engine is based on supposedly has a 4.11X" bore and a 4" stroke. That comes out to ~425ci.

The engine Jay Leno got might have had some custom parts inside to handle the boost but, the cubic inches will be the same for everyone if GM does actually put this engine out as a crate engine.

BTW, that is the next engine going in the '06 Z06.

If you take the specs that were published with the blue car, the LS7 is a 427.7.

Nope. The 1966 model year car originally came with a 385hp 425ci engine. The 455ci didn't show up until 1968.
