You are correct. And the 5.0s responded to mods alot better than the Chevy 305 as well. That was a bad time for the Camaro. The Mustang had the 5.0 engine, which ended up being one of Ford's best V8 engines while the Camaro had the 305 which was one of the worst GM V8 engines.
Call me a mullet if you want, but back then I always preferred the look of the 3rd Gen Camaros over the Foxbody Mustangs though.
