That '78 A-body 442 was a whole different animal than the Hurst W30 that came out in 1979. I've seen plenty of manual trans examples of the former.
As you mentioned in reply #30 there is no documentation (outside of 6 Grrrs claim) of any 79-80 W30 Hurst 4-speed cars. And yes, they were 350 Olds powered. The only non-station wagon, non diesel A/G body from 78-80 to get more than 305 cubic inches.

Love this car
