Well, I reckin that, once again, I am lookin at some old, outdated info. This classracerinfo site clearly says that the 330hp 350 has a 325hp factor, and comes only in the Tempest and Lemans, not the GTO.

So, would you please, once again, post me a link to the info you are referring to. And thanks for correcting any mistakes I might make. I am just trying to go by what I read. Maybe I'm reading in the wrong place ?

OK, that's different. The reason I didn't include the '68's, but only the '69-'72, is because I don't like the bumper and taillight arrangement on the '68's. It's just a personal preference thing.

I wonder if the hp difference in the '68 & '69 has anything to do with the size of the valves, in the #48 heads ? Or did somebody just request that the '68 factor be lower ?
