The 262 was a smog motor made in 75-76 only (I looked it up) the cat converter was mandated in 1975. I don't think they were trying to make a gas sipper they just destroked a 305 with a smaller crank to get the displacement wanting to pass emissions.
A friend of mine had one in his 75 Monza that is how I am familiar with it, we pulled it dropped in a mild home built 350 and he drove it for years till he sold it.
I also remember that it was one of the weakest SBChevys ever made believe me I know I have a 75 Corvette... Now that was a car begging to be tuned.
