A little known fact (these days) about the Chevy W-engines: You don't need a ring compressor to install the pistons. In fact, I don't think there was ever one made, but maybe back in the day there was.

March 16, 1966 saw an Olds Toronado roll out of Lansing, Michigan with that honor.

You mean the suspension kind, or the kind that inflate in your face?

Can't remember the exact car, but it was in the early 70's and was a GM product. Olds, maybe?

It was a 1970 or 72 Chevy Impala coupe.

Actually, that would Mrs Ford when she went with Henry on his first test drive of the Model-T.

I can't think of one smaller than the 348 Chevy engine. Olds had a 403. Buick had a 400. Pontiac engines are all the same size block, there is no "big block" Pontiac.
Unless there's some oddball engine, I'd have to go with the 348.
