They use to run down were 295 is. This is my Uncle who told me His stories about when he was into street racing and Drag racing. He bought His GT0 brand new and he still has it.

There you go. No mention of the SS350. The fact there were numerous engine options, and all of those engines were available w/o buying the SS package shows the SS was an appearance package. I'd more worried about a dog-dished L78 Camaro over most any SS.
