It does happen in other makes. Check the 1969 Chevy 350/300. In the big car and the Vette its 290 in S and 310 in SS regardless of transmission type. But in the Chevy II and Camaro its 290 in S and 310 in SS stick but 318 in SS auto yet the big cars and the vette are at 310 for the SS auto. Think it has to do with how the AHFS hits a combo with regard to family. I would guess if we looked at enough Ford we could come up with the same thing.
As usual i could be wrong
