I happen to know where a 1969 f-85 post car with what appears to be original 350 (#5 heads ) and 3 speed manual on the floor? What would designate the 3 speed and 350? With the build sheet long gone the car is real strait and all the drive train is there. I cant seem to find any production numbers on something like this, if anyone has some input that would be awesome!

In 1969 there were 5541 V8 Series 33277 F-85's produced and 2899 F-85 Series 33177 L6's produced. All F-85's in '69 were Sports Coupes (post cars) I have no break down as far as transmissions go, however the 3-speed column shift (three on the tree) was standard issue.

#5 heads are for a 2bbl. or 4?

A 4bbl. 3-speed F-85 would be a budget supercar in sheep's clothing - sounds like a cool car.

#5 heads were used on all '68-9 small block engines. The only special ones would be the W31 units with larger valves.

Thanks . . . even with a 350-2, a stick on the floor would be very rare and an interesting cheap collectible.

Yeah unfortunatly it is a 2bbl but still way cool. The guy that has it is working on it and doesnt want to sell the car...........yet, however i did buy the motor from him for like $100 2 months ago (He put in a running smog 350?! not sure why) I am devising a long term plan to keep the original motor for the car in which i WILL eventually buy haha.
