Default what engines & transmissions where available for '72 LeMans'

there is a 6 cyl, a couple 350's, and a few more 400's and 455's listed for all the lines in '72. but would like to narrow down what was available in the A body.

I'm familiar with the commonly known,

M 350 2bbl single exhaust
T 400 4bbl dual exhaust
x 455 HO " "

and for transmissions,

M-13
M-20
M-22
TH 400

but what about a 455 d port or 400 2bbl or anything else? and were any only available with an auto trans like '71?

was the TH 300 still around?

well, i think I'm getting a little too dependent on the internet

first, i searched with no definitive results, then i turned to py, ( i know you guys will come through), but i completely forgot about PHS. sure enough, there it is in the PHS packet, all the info i was looking for.

best thing about 72 was the engine code was now in the VIN, also I believe the ST300 was gone after 1969 when the TH350 was phased in, some later cars had two speed autos but they were actually power glides
