From what I can tell all 69 383 and 440 cars got rear torque boxes minus maybe a facotry mistake. Don't know if that included front? I don't no if any 69 340 automatics had torque boxes? All I've seen don't, but I'd like the observations of others on that. Last edited by autoxcuda; 06/25/12 06:55 PM.

My 6 340 4-speed cars all have rears only, convertibles got front and rear. As long as a performance A-Body has rears then you can pretty much be sure it is right. The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!

Isn't it pretty uncommon for 68-69 340 automatics to get rears and/or fronts?

Yes it is, most automatic 2-door hardtops had no torque boxes. Last edited by Rhinodart; 06/26/12 11:17 PM.
