I'm thinking it was the 383. Can anyone give me a reference source for this?

My Son just bought a 70 sport satellite with numbers matching 383/2 bbl driveline...car still has most of the original paint...is very nice...buckets/console..lots of options...I'm pretty sure the 383 4 barrel was the bighest available for a stock sport satellite...

383-4 335hp was the largest in a sport satellite, A friend of mine has one that came that way, it's all dressed out with buckets/console , discs, PS, PB AM/FM, PW/PL, AC it's like a loaded GTX with a RR motor.

Thanks for all the info. That data book was just what I was looking for.

According to it, the 383HP (335 horsepower) was the largest - but that was only optional with the manual trans. The 330 horsepower was the largest available for the automatic cars.

According to the data book the 330 horsepower is the Super Commando, so does that mean there was no sticker on the dual snorkel of the 335 horsepower motor?
