Is that true that automatics had hydraulic lifters, and were rated at 410hp by Chevrolet?

No. An L72 was an L72, regardless of what trans was behind it, solids and 425 hp. I think that story got started because of an ad Yenko ran in 67 when they were still doing transplants, listing the auto at 410 hp with hydraulics.

That's what I thought, but didn't know the origin of the urban myth. Surprised that the owner of the TH400 Yenko allowed that mis-information to slip through.
