A side note; in 1969, the only engine that you could not get with an automatic transmission was the L79. Even the L88, L89, L71 and ZL1 could be ordered with an automatic.

The L46 350/350 was offered in 69 and 70 and they are much more powerful than the 300 HP engine, they have 11:1 compression, different quadrajet, 6000 red line and as stated 4 speed only but Air was available. Cam intake and carb and it becomes a LT1.

A M20 3.70 geared L46 will surprise the heck out of a a guy in with M21 3.73 1969 Z28...
