While we're discussing 3 and 4-speeds...

Would a 70 E-body 3-speed in a 6-cyl car be the same as the 3-speed in a 340 car? Did they make different 230's in the same year like they did with 833's?

You could get a 383-2bbl with a 230 3-speed, could you not? Between those and 340's thats gotta be a pretty solid transmission.
