1970 300 vs 350 hp difference
I have a 1970 numbers matching that origally came with a 300 hp 350. During the restoration a 350/350 hp cam was used. Everthing else in original 300 hp. What other difference were there on the 350 hp cars?
My carb was jetted with the orignal 300 hp specs and was also wondering if the 350 hp had different jets.
Thanks in advance
Marty

Not sure but I believe the only difference in the actual engine was cam and compression ratio. Blocks and heads had same casting numbers in 1970, block was3970010 and the heads on both were 3927186 and 3927187 was also used on the 350, the LT1 engine used heads 3973414. Valves may of been different also.
