    That's not a 302, because the 292 Y-block was about 194 horsepower. But the body buck tag states '170 HP.'

    Interesting. It would not surprise me if this was built as an industrial truck engine that made less ponies but far more torque in a given displacement. It would explain why the door tag says '170 HP.'
