Thread: Difference in LeSabre 401 vs. Wildcat 401?

  1. #1

    Difference in LeSabre 401 vs. Wildcat 401?

    Was there a difference in the design of the 401 nailhead in a 63' leSabre compared to the 401 nailhead of a 63' wildcat? My main concern is if they had the same horsepower and torque output.

    4 different 401's were available in the Le Sabre and the two highest hp of those options were used in the Wildcat.

    so, yes and no.

     JR   280  424   no
     JS   265  412   no
     JT   325  445   yes
     JU   315  435   yes
