2 years in a row the 70-71 Hemi Challenger gets some love. 20hp reduction in 2 years. Wowza!

3370# in B/SA that will work, until the new cars are in the other lane, and then it will be same old outcome.

Glass half full Larry, at least the Hemi could make them work for it and get some instant hits in the process.

I requested HP off 307/138 for Wagon only and I was lumped in with Cutlass and no HP change. Write another letter or work harder?

Is wagon the same platform as the Cutlass, is so there is your answer.

The wagon is a Delta 88 Cutlass is G body. Not sure if they are same platform

Delta 88 is a full-size car (B-body). Cutlass is an intermediate (G-body).

How many different 427 ford combos are there for 66 67 Fairlane one got reduced to 404 one got no change at 400 ? Is 404 glass hood trunk battery and 400 flat hood front battery? Then there is a factory 415 nhra 425 combo what is that ?
I surmise its 427 single carb flat hood 400
427 single carb glass hood 404
427 duel 4 auto 415 and NHRA transposed the numbers?
And 427 duel 4 Manuel trans 425?
