(Including both our 396s and all four of our 427s)

We trust every engine we build.  That’s why we give our high-performance jobs the same 5-year 50,000-mile power train warranty we offer on all our other engines.

Here it is:

Chevrolet…warrants the power train components specifically described as the cylinder block and head and all internal engine parts, intake manifold, transmission case and all internal parts, torque converter, propeller shaft and universal joints, differential, axle shafts and rear wheel bearings on any such Vehicle, manufactured or supplied by it to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for 5 years or until it has been driven for 50,000 miles after such delivery, whichever occurs first.

            As an express condition of this warranty, once every 6 months the owner is required to furnish an authorized Chevrolet Dealer evidence that the engine oil, oil filter, carburetor air filter, and positive crank-case ventilator valve  (and automatic transmission oil and transmission band if so equipped have been serviced in accordance with Chevrolet’s required maintenance schedule as stated in the applicable Chevrolet Owner Protection Plan booklet, and have the Dealer certify in such booklet (1) that he has received such evidence, and (2) the then current indicated mileage on the odometer. )

            Chevrolet’s obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing any part or parts which are returned to an authorized Chevrolet Dealer at such Dealer’s place of business and which examination shall disclose to Chevrolet’s reasonable satisfaction to have been thus defective.  The repair or replacement of defective parts under this warranty will be made by such Dealer without charge for parts and labor.

            The provisions of this warranty shall not apply to any Vehicle which has been subject to misuse, negligence, alteration or accident, or which shall have been repaired outside of an authorized Chevrolet Dealer’s place of business in any way so as, in the reasonable judgment of Chevrolet to affect adversely its performance and reliability, nor to normal maintenance services (such as engine tune-up, fuel systems cleaning, carbon or sludge removal, brake and clutch adjustments and wheel alignment and balancing) and the replacement of service items (such as spark plugs, ignition points, positive crankcase ventilator valves, filters and brake and clutch lining) made in connection with such services, nor to normal deterioration of soft trim and appearance items due to wear and exposure.

            This warranty is expressly in lieu of any other warranties, expressed or implied, including any implied warranty of merchant ability or fitness for a particular purpose and of any other obligations or liability on the part of Chevrolet and Chevrolet neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for it any other liability in connection with such Vehicle.
