Early 1965's had the 409 as an option. The L78, 425 hp 396 was a late year option that came from the Corvette stable. It had square port heads,solid lifter cam, aluminum intake with a 780 Holley, unique exhaust manifolds, four bolt mains going to a 12 bolt, 4.1 gear. A/C was not available but who cared?
It was a one year only availability dropping to 375hp the following year.
The block would take a .156 overbore to accept a stock 427 piston, put that all into a 1962 Chevy II and it would scare you-ask me how I know.
