What option/part is missing from a 1969 Judge GTO that was readily available with a regular GTO?

In 1965, Chevy introduced their new big block to replace the 409. It was introduced into 2 cars; the L78 396/425HP Corvette and the Z16 396/375HP Malibu/Chevelle SS 396. What was the difference in the motors where the Corvette was rated 50HP more?

The Z16 Chevelle had a hydraulic lifter camshaft.

Brian gets in done :bow .

The camshaft on the L78 used a solid lifter cam (same as the L72) while the Z16 used a milder hydralic cam.

All other components were the same such as 800 cfm Holley carburetor, 11:1 compression, forged pop-top pistons, aluminum high-rise intake manifold, steel crankshaft, rectangular ("square") port closed chamber heads, and four-bolt main caps.

Thats correct In 1963, Chevy built the Z11 Impala's for drag racing, They used a 427 ci "W" head and were really "stretched out" 409s.
