At the risk of being a wet blanket, the LM1 350 was not a performance engine. It was a low-compression 2 bolt main 350 with a 4-barrel carb. Built with single exhaust unless N10 was ordered. Not rare either; 10,406 built in the 4 months of availability. It was odd in that it required an optional transmission; the MC1 HD 3-speed was the cheapest at $79 and was dropped as an option at the same time as the LM1. Some LM1s had 12 bolt axles and a few had Muncie 4-speeds.

Standard equipment was manual steering and manual drum brakes. If the cars you have seen had power steering it was standard, variable-ratio. N44 would have to have been ordered. Since only 672 drum brake cars were built with N44, few were built with it.
