1968 Mustang Facts Book

So I like to have Mustang literature and buy a lot of it. I bought the book "1968 Mustang Facts Book" from California Mustang. In it, on page 28, there is a specs listing for the 390-4V.

I have never seen this anywhere before, but it states that there were two different 390-4V's available. The upgraded GT version is listed at 335HP at 4800rpm and 427lbs-ft of torque at 3200rpm.

It goes on to say that this increased rating is due to a "special carburetor, camshaft, and ignition components".

First, is this true? and if it is, what was special?
