I find it very curious that your 4 speed car has #62's (like my 400 did). I've seen a lot of cars in junkyards back in the 80's. Back then you'd see GTO's in Pick-A-Part. Every head was about $50, fender was $25 and the hoods were about $30 (still have a couple). The 69 GTO's were far more plentiful than the Firebirds. The 4-speed GTO's almost all had #48's. The 70's GTO's were always #12 for the stick and #13 for the automatics. My 69 350 HO 4-speed engine has #48's, but all the 350 HO's did. It's interesting why the 4-speed 69 Firebird 400's got the #62's?
