Where did you get this info?

Here's the real poop - -

In 1968, the convertible and a hardtop coupe saw changes in their engines:
Firebird 350:

The V-8 326 cubic inch was upgraded to a 350 cubic inch two-barrel with 265 horsepower. This was available for an additional $105.60.
.
Firebird 350 H.O.:

The V-8 326 H.O. (High Output) was also upgraded to a 350 cubic inch four-barrel with 320 horsepower, premium fuel, stiffer suspensions, dual exhausts, and side stripes with “H.O.” lettering. This was available for an additional $180.58.

The specs on my '68 Firebird 350 H.O. ...350ci ...1x4bbl ...320 hp ...380 lb-ft.
Not a bad little car...4 spd., strong/quick...wish I still had it.
