Right, Thats what gets me, but also there is nothing stated about the early ones haveing the smaller engines also, nor the fact of people coming in and saying "I want this engine, but this rear end" this is what is leading me to think it is a "test" car where they used this engine/tranny, and put this rear into it to see if it would work.. how many were produced from 64 to end of year 65??
