Yes, also two 455s and a 454. And two 400s and the 396, which became 402ci. Also home to the 302, 305, and 307.
Those were the good days though... as little sense as it makes, I miss each division developing their own engines.

They did and it unfortunately didn't go over very well. People want retro. I think it's trite myself...
