My high school in Mesa, Az. had a 1978 T/A with 400/4-spd combo. Was a test mule at the GM Desert proving grounds in Mesa. They also had 4-5 390 Ford Engines in crates. Rumor was that they came from a load of trucks that were damaged when a train derailed. Seems Ford took the tax break route and donated the engines.
