I even did a search, and apparently without more education on my part, I see nothing that says that a GM "403" was ever a big block.

If I am sticking to something I know, C3 Corvettes, I'll stand by what I posted above.
My mistake. 409, not 406. I recall a co-worker back in the 70s, had a 63
Impala with a 409 engine. Looked the same as the late 50s 348 block.
"W" heads (valve covers) on both.
