--All console automatics (why console mandatory?) - Probably because no room for column shift linkage to automatic only trans

--3.55 standard, 3.91 optional - correct

--Manual drum brakes - correct, again no room for power brake booster?

Did I miss anything pertinent? Thank you!


Automatic only because 440 engine required Dana for 4-speed trans and no Dana available that was narrow enough for the A-body at the time.

Specific 383/440 A-body radiator with bottom radiator hose outlet spout relocated slightly to clear oil filter

Special or specific driver's side exhaust manifold for clearance of steering column and (?)
