The 63 Lemans, although it has a 326 emblem, has a 389 in it. When Delorean designed this car he was putting 389’s in it but General Motors told him he has to stop because they didn’t want the engine to be bigger than the corvette which was a 327 and also their best seller, so they made a deal that he would put 389’s in this year only but put the 326 emblem. Just a little bit of history
63 Lemans never got the 389. Nope, never happened.
vrr is correct--there were no 389's in the 63 Tempests. On the other hand, the 326 was actually 336 cubic inches but Pontiac simply chose to call it a 326 so as not to offend the divas at Chevrolet and the GM brass. Someone discovered the name game and Pontiac had to reduce the engine's size to an actual 326 cubic inches for 1964 but then DeLorean and his engineers changed the game by putting the 389 into GTO's.
Never a 389 in production . The 326 was actually a 330
