No, there was never a HO TPI. There were horsepower differences between the years, but the only HO engine was the L69. There were also no factory 5.0 HO rocker decals, sounds like someone has added them.

I stand corrected, I never knew that. The only engine size decals I was aware of were the "formula 350" ones on L98 formies.

Looking at my 86 many times the decal says 5.0 LITER FI. No HO there. But the factory brochure refers to it as one. Pretty sure I have seens ones that said HO on the rockers, just cant recall if my 85 had them or not.
