Re: how many 71's were 396/auto?

I doubt you'll find out.

396 on a 71 is an irregular. Think I've even read where the SPID says 402, but it's a 396, and vise versa. Perhaps even 1970 trucks with a "396", but it's really a 402....................Fun!

Are you sure it's a 396? If you haven't already, you might search for the part # stamped on the block.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s of OEM identifications and part numbers, all written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
