I have trouble with that engine *and* the trans. Ron, did you see paperwork that says it came from the factory with a 400 and the Junkaway? If so, what was the paperwork? 1. In '69, the 400 came only in the 442 and the Vista. 2. The only 8 that the Junkaway was available with was the base 250 hp 350. I've never seen documented exceptions to either. I don't mean to sound harsh, but like Milton, I'm a more than a little concerned about the money motivated epidemic of misrepresented cobbled up cars out there.
