This combo is not rare and fairly common. Just need to use the 441 head and a flat hood.

May have been fairly rare as a factory installed combination, in the staging lanes, not so much!

You are correct. That was my original combination until the hood became illegal.
And, as I wanted to keep my cowl hood, I now run the 350/300 combination.

I still have the bare 441 heads in my basement, from the 300/255 in my basement if anyone is interested.

Odered 1969 SS 396/375 Camaro in Jan. 1969. Cowl hood was avail. as option on SS package, as stated LM1 option already discontineud by then, so no LM1 and cowl hood could have been produced. But Jerry would know for sure. Tony Tosto, ps still have orig. smog system off my car if any interest, 314 660 5684.
