Now you have a low production GP that is even less original. My reasoning wasn't for brute power. A 350 would be a nice improvement in seat of the pants power without having to worry about drive train reliability. |

Olds 260s were only certified to have five speeds, and were rare. After dropping manuals in 73/74 mid sized cars, after the first gas crisis, GM brought 4 speeds back for 75-78. But buyers were 'addicted' to autos and they ended up selling in tiny #'s.

I think you mean 5-speeds were only certified to go behind Olds 260s (in mid-size cars). Those 5-speeds were easily the weakest manual GM offered during that era.
