Ya can't make this stuff up!

Now I am really confused...…

69 ChevyII 111" WB vs 68 Camaro 108" WB both rated the same 235/255/280HP

69 Impala Sport 119" WB rated 350/255/275HP...
69 Full Size SW 119" WB rated 350/255/263HP = 12HP less

69 Chevelle 2 door 112" WB & 4 door 116" WB both rated the same 350/255/280HP
69 Chevelle SW 116" WB rated 350/255/275HP
69 Chevelle SW & 4 door same 116" WB = 5HP difference
