I believe I originally brought up the roll bar issue since I was reluctant to put one in my 340 Barracuda. I guess it could always be cut out.

Interesting. So with all this talk about aftermarket heads and intakes on the mopars I decided to give this thread a new look. So what your saying is that it was approved, built and now it's no longer approved?? I do know that when I asked a few questions to pat about different year 318 intakes, i was told that they (68-71 and 73) are two different motors with different parts which is why they have different horsepower numbers. This was when all 318s were at 185 and the 69 was at 182.
