Wheelbase/HP Relationship??

RJ Sledge · 10-06-2008, 09:33 AM

From what I read on the Classification and Blue Print Specs is that the 280 hp motor and the 325/330 HP motors are all identical as far as carb, cam, intake, rocker ratio, cam lift, deck, gasket, etc., etc.. So why are they separating the HP ratings on these motors according to "A" Body, "E" body, "B" Body "D" Body or Any Body and No Body???? I realize that the transmission does make a difference in the AHFS and it should be that way. What I am confused about is why the difference in the Wheelbases and "Body" differences?

I am really confused here and would appreciate it if somebody could explain why a Wheelbase is even considered a reason for different HP Rating.

Thanks RJ
