Default Cool '55 Pontiac Hot Rod on LA Craigslist

I wonder when the '57 Bonnie engine was swapped in... back in the day it probably would have surprised a few people.

Weren't all '57 Bonnevilles fuel injected?

I think all (630?) 57 Bonnevilles were fuel injected. The bored-out figure might be a typo.....i.e. 0.040 inches instead? From what I've read in the past the tripower performance was better than the fuel injection...at least back in 1957.
