Carl (Carl Stevenson) we have to say things to get you to post some of your reference material. It looks like provoking you worked!
Keep provoking me! I enjoy the challenge of documenting what was and wasn't. And then of course there's always sparring matches like this one that seem to end in a draw because no one can prove beyond a doubt what has really been done.
I kick myself for not saving more printed material. I've been at a dealership since 1980 and did a short stint at the same dealer right out of high school, mid 70's. So much stuff I've tossed without thinking...

You have to be careful in how you read these Service Manuals. I have one here for the 73/74 Orange engines, 350 and 400 Supplement. If I posted certain pages you would think that 400 sbc was availble in the LeMans. I just might do it and start claiming it was....but alas it wasn't but the print would make you think it was.
