I am also still unsure as to the conflicting information for the WZ & YW codes.. Wallace has the WZ as 335hp HO and YW as 330hp standard which is opposite to the PHS and FIRSTGEN.
Does anyone happen to know an answer to this ?

Thanks for the reply barnbird.
I was looking through Wallace trying to find any info about the conflicting information for the codes WZ & YW that are noted on the Firstgen site when I noticed the errors looks like Wallace has a few mistakes I did send an Email to Wallace but no reply as of yet.

I 100% agree with barnbird. Also, I have a 400 HO with a YW engine (and from the factory it has the long branch manifolds to help with the horsepower) that is numbers matching to confirm this data.
