MoPar quirks and/or anomalies

This reminds me of the debate over W2 heads being installed on some early 80s pursuit vehicles. A well known circle track racer swore he had dismantled cars with W2s but everyone said it was BS because of emissions .
I contended that back then Chrysler would have bent the rules on a few cars to ensure a fleet order . Besides I am pretty sure Cop cars were exempt from emissions just like heavy trucks were. And to top it off I own an NOS cast iron W2 intake . Looks exactly like a 360 TQ intake but with wider bolt spacing .
