Another BS story vs reality.

If you worked for an Auto Company in the 1960s you would know that the engine development time "start date"
for the components were YEARS ahead of the production year.

Mikes reply:

THIS IS A QUESTION, "NOT" A BULL STORY, YOU CAN TELL BY THE QUESTION MARK AT THE END!

However, during the 1966 Motor development for the 1967 models, "how many Tripowers were installed on the 1967 upcoming models (400 ci and 428 ci) and are there any factory records of them?"

ALSO, IN MY READING, "IF YOU WERE LUCKY TO HAVE RECIEVED A 428 MOTOR, FROM THE FACTORY, IN A PONTIAC TRANS AM OR FIREBIRD OR GTO, YOU WOULD HAVE ONE RARE VEHICLE?", STATED IN SOMETHING THAT I READ, IN THE PAST, IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME.
