We need to have special mention for members 283, 289, 302, 305 and 318!
I was trying to not go past 327 but since you did, lets fill in some more blanks...
350, 351, 360, 383, 389, 390, 400, 401, 427, 428, 429 and 440
We then have fuelies, hipos, bosses, rats, Clevelands, windsors, hemis, super cobra jets and magnums - I think that about covers it.

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!

How can you guys create a list like this and fail to mention the 396??!!!! 
Actually we left it out on purpose to see if any other gear heads would pop in to complete the list - welcome to the Gibson gear head club Jeff!
Cuz then I'd be mrb396!
Don't forget the 171 and 271 flatheads; the Ford 352; and AMC's 403. And, last but not least - Chevy's 409 (she's real fine..)

Car nerd talk about engine sizes.
In that case let me quote Brad Dourif from the movie "Wise Blood":
"No man with a good car needs to be justified."
And the production Big Block's last gasp; Cadillac's 502 (actually, only 500 cid).
I knew it! One mention of car talk and all the motor heads will come out in the open!
Brat - Welcome to the club within the club - Gibson Gear Heads, where you don't get a number you just pick your favorite displacement! mrb has 327, Jeff has 396, and I have 429 boss. What's it gonna be for you, 409 perhaps?
Here is my Gibson, a 1970 Les Paul Triumph. This is my second one that I have owned and have always loved the tone I get from a Triumph. Sadly, I sold my first but I think I will be buried with this one, hehe.
This may hang on my wall, but it is a player. I am a little reluctant to take it to gigs but that may change soon.
May I get a number, please?
