Moot point. The 401 head is a legal replacement for both.

The 69 can also use the original aluminum head for a slight HP adjustment (reduction) allowing it to run in A instead of AA. Being able to run A might help you avoid a potential heads up with a new factory car you cannot hope to compete with.

The new specs that Chevy resubmited show a auto was a option with Turbo 350 or PG, sorta like the 352 & 428 cars that FORD never built or sold since Wolfe & Holbrooks cars were rollers only!
