Default First 350 Chevy engine built?

I'm watching the Mecum Auto Action, and they have a 1967 Camaro convert, Indy pace car, and in describing it they announcer/talking heads said that it was in fact a chevy 350 engine. I always thought the 350 wasn't released till 1970. I figured here in C-3, there are experts out there?

I think the 350 came 1st in 1969, its a stroked version of a 327.

EDIT : It seems GM built '67 camaros with 350 engines, called SS350, I didn't know that before.
