Big John can prob tell you but I think the only difference was the twin snorkel and dual exhaust
NOT MINE 1970 300 convertible (not mine)
- Thread starter sixpkrt
- Start date
And camshaft, carburetor (Carter on the HP), exhaust manifolds, orange paint on the HP, and probably something else I'm not remembering.
Mine has Carter four bbl. Dual exhaust. Single snorkel and turgoise engine. Seems like bigger cam but I ain't pulling it apart haha.

It’s a reasonable offer… at 1650 usd. Drop it into a restoration shop and start tearing up Franklins. Once you get past twelve hundred of them, it will begin to look very nice indeed.
It used to be a very nice car.

Chrysler has 440 engine with 350 horsepower.
Have not found build sheet.
My question,
Wouldn't that T be either a 212 H.P. or a 225 H.P. 4 barrel engine?
Perhaps, this specific motor has been rebuilt to higher H.P. specs.

in 1970 the hp rating used was gross hp so 350 hp is what the T code was rated at then.
the 212 & 225 you're using is the 1972 net hp #s.
in 71 they listed net & gross hp #s
for example, a 71 U code was rated at 370 gross & 305 net, and a 71 T code was 330 gross & 220 net.
72 they only used net hp for the most part
those are the 73 #s

Yeah, I was thinking '73.
Yes, smaller convertor in the HP version. 10 3/4" v. 11 3/4".

I concur. The '70 engines had a slightly higher compression ratio (9.7 to one versus 8.8 to one) than the '71 engines, so the horsepower rating was slightly higher, too. But what is interesting is the large difference btw the ratings, when it was in net horses.
The 1970 U-code had 375 gross, and 310 net horses (65 hp difference). The same year T-code had 350 gross, and 240 net (110 hp difference).
Same in 1971: U-code 370 gross / 305 net (65 hp difference), the T-code 330 gross / 220 net (110 hp difference).
Now, as the net horses are those that are genuine ones, and the gross hp only for the bragging rights, it is easy to see which one of those engines will leave you in the dust.

He is about to get an education as the car is stuck at $2095.00 for the last few days with 24 hours left
How do you verify you have factory engine or if it's been replaced?
I have the bigger cam I think and looked like heads were replaced. I'm checking dual exhaust because it's custom but the manifolds look to be straight flow.
