Thanks, You guys are of coarse correct. I should have looked at my fender tag first. I've never been much of a numbers guy and had to look up the codes online. I seemed to remember that the previous owner said it had the original trans and apparently it does not. No biggy since the slant has been gone for many years and the car sure doesn't look like it would have one either. I was just wondering if it was anything unusual but nope, just a plain jane slant six barracuda that happens to look somewhat like a 440 sixpack cuda. In fact about the only thing on the fender tag that matches my car is the VIN.
