1969 Camaro SS Question

Really need to look at website for that combo; if looking for true SS, there is the 255hp and 300hp with OEM or replacment head ratings. Stick or auto?

If your looking for something soft the 041head (255hp) combo with a 2 brl is pretty good. Runs SS/MA,
I think.

The 2 barrel 255/230 hp is a 441 head not 041. The 290/314 is stil 314 in S/S, 318 was the old GT factor which is now 322

Oops, my bad. Actually the 300 hp engine is NHRA HP 314 with a flat hood on a 69 camaro and 315 with a cowl hood in SS. Flat hood 314 is a natural SS/I car but can run either H or J. The cowl hood rated at 315 makes it a nautral H car and the car then can go down to G at 3005 lbs.

The 255/290 HP combo is a natural SS/I (3070lbs)combo and can run J at 3360lbs or H at a very light wt of 2930 lbs. There is no difference in HP for the cowl hood for this engine combo.

SS/I,H,G require a license and a certifed cage. J does not require either.
