Okay, I found it. Looks I did this in 1989, and it was not corrected to std conditions.

In summary for 440 4 bbl cars:
1) Eleven 440 hp (67 through 70) track tests from various magazines.
2) All but one ran in the 14s, one a 15.2
3) All but two were <100 mph. The 69 'Cuda went 103.8 and a 70 Superbird went 103.7, but was tested on a 10°F day in Detroit with snow on the ground.
4) Uncorrected the Mopar "Drag Strip Dyno" horsepower had them from 252 to 360 hp (note, the DSD generates hp values about 20 hp higher than the Moroso calculator). The above referenced 70 Superbird had the 360, most of the rest were about 300 hp or lower.
5) Test weights were high due to extra test equipment and sometimes a second person. Range from 3780 to 4550. Only one was below 4000lb.

FWIW.
