Thanks David and Jeff, for the info on automatic T/As (and AARs too),, thats what I love about this forum. Someone will always come up with the answer we're looking for. My ball of knowledge just got a little bigger.

My AAR is a bucket seat, auto on the column model. I was able to get it because every wanted the the slap stick models or four speeds. I picked it up in 76 for $1800

I've got an old mag from 70 or 71 that put the two 302 against each other on the dyno. After changing springs, cam(factory part number cams) headers,etc both were well over 400hp.(a lot back then with a 290hp rating) The chevy nosed over around 7600 or 7800 or something like that and they went on and on about the boss going to 8200 and just wanting more. I forget how high they turned it but with factory internals it was amazing. I think it was SS/DI but might of been Hot Rod or or another generic mag.

I believe a 302 Camaro can run E/S or SS/I. am not sure on the mustang. The Mustang is a little heavier car, so it probably moved back one class.

Myron,

Thanks for the correction RE: the C/SA 340 6-pack E-Body cars. I moved away from California (where I used to watch Gene Buell race a lot), in 2004, and wasn't aware of the advances made in power production with the 3 X 2-bbl 340s... didn't know they'd gotten horsepower. I need to pay more attention!!!
