The 3 on the tree wasn't available with the 400 4bbl but I have a 428-360 manual engine, which btw was in effect an HO engine less the long branch manifolds with 62 screw-in big valve heads, 067 cam, 4 bolt mains, windage tray, HO distributor and carb, none of which were on the 428-360 automatics which were basically a 428 with a 4bbl but otherwise built to 400-290 2bbl specs.

'69 428 HO B body cars had a PC coded TH 400. The std unit for all others was coded PA or PB.
I do not know the exact differences but I think the HO PC units had a stronger sprag, might have had an extra clutch pack, probably had a different governor setting and different valve body shift points. Std rear end for a 428 HO a/t B body was the 3.42:1. For some reason they listed a 3.23 for m/t cars but since they didn't make any I am not sure how accurate that is although it is probably applicable to GP's. Dennis/SD455: PM me or better yet call me at 571 265 5950. I am leaving work in about 30 minutes and will be on my phone after that.

'69 428 HO's used several parts from the GTO bin.
7268 carb 1119 distributor #62 heads: screw in studs, large valves, springs? .067 cam plus long branch manifolds Did not know there was difference in the windage tray To the best of my knowledge only 726 B body 428 HO's were built plus another 12xx for GP's for a total of just under 2000. That represents less than 1/2 of 1% of the total B body and G body production that year.

Hey Diego you said 135 68 gp 428 how cars were built . Is that stick and auto cars. If so is there any break down of 4 speed cars. Also I have a 68 428ho 4 speed ventura with a 4.11 posi manual steering and brakes what do you think maybe 1 of 20 built like that. Thanks for the info.

The 135 is for all transmissions.
If you give me the body code and option codes you've listed, I may be able to find out something. There's some interesting combinations that are listed that one wouldn't normally expect but generally I probably will only be able to find Catalina HO/stick for you....if the page is not missing from the Archives. |

Went to Carlisle, so I've been MIA. However, I took the time on the plane to restart compiling information that I started a few years ago.
I'll reply in full when I'm done in a few days, but here's some info (if it hasn't been stated yet): 173 Catalinas had the 428 HO 363 Cats had the M20, out of 2,546 with manual tranny in total (hence, the difference is the 3-speed). I have some codes I need to translate (body and option) but it's progressing. One of the problems I have is that all the stats are from photos, and some of them are not clear. I want to make sure I don't post incorrect info or misunderstand how things are laid out. |
