Or a GTO/T-41 LeMans with a HO could have any 4 of those engine codes too...

No! The GTO/Lemans would have the WM or YB because the unitized ignition, T-41 option and RAM AIR were ALL mandatory options.

Doubt that, would need to ck '72 factory literature for exact verbiage. Have a fairly large database & tons of '72 HO A-bodys listed. all I have listed have WM's or YB engine codes. That goes along with all '72 HO A-bodys being packaged with endura nose, Ram Air & K65 unit ign.

Took quite a while but I went through all the '72 T/A's in my database that I have info on built before end of '71 calender year. So far, '72 T/A's ordered with WM's & YB's outnumber WD's & YE's nearly 20-1. my sample size is only a 1/10 of production & definitely could be bigger, but there seems to be a trend.

Yeah, nice car. Doesn't mention anything about number matching engine or tranny. Too bad it wasn't a 4spd.
