Answer: 409 V8

The "Big Three" referred to the three companies competing in the muscle car image, GM, Ford, and Chrysler. The 409 was a very popular engine for several reasons, probably the biggest push it got was when the Beach Boys wrote the song "She's Real Fine My 409" This engine came with only three models, the Impala SS, Impala, and the Bel Airs. 1962 was a very interesting year for this motor because it put out 409 hp, that was one horsepower for every cubic inch, something that had never occurred before.
