Interesting that W31 is just called an induction system, nothing about the engine!
And dual exhaust was optional?? On a 325hp engine?

That does seem strange, you'd think that would be part of the W-31 package. It does show N10 is required, but not included with the W-31 package.

It was a required option. You could not get a W-31 with single exhaust.

The engine was a 350 with select fit parts, higher compression, big valve heads, specific distributor and 4 bbl carburator and a very special cam shaft as well as a larger unique crank dampner.

The lack of proper advertising to the general public is one reason so few were sold in 1968-69.
