Hi p,
This info is from the "chevelle stuff" site.
As 530 the engine goes in your car like most bb engines from the era.
Regards,
Alan

The ED suffix was used in 66 & 67. The H could indicate Holley (intake manifold indicates that as well)
ED 1966 Chevelle 396 325 Mt
ED 1967 Chevelle 396 325 Mt

Good luck... GUSTO

Hi p,
Here's a source that's quite dependable and helpful.

http://www.nastyz28.com/chevy-engine-code-stampings.php

Scroll down to the Suffix Code Lists and click on the appropriate suffix group.

Regards,
Alan

Another useful source is Mortec Chevy Small-Block Enthusiasts. It says for Small-Block enthusiasts, but also includes Big-Block as well as W-motor (348-409) info.

Good luck... GUSTO
