L71 had 3 deuces.

435HP @ 5800rpm
460TQ @ 4000rpm

Bore - 4.25"
Stroke - 3.76"
CR - 11:1
Firing Order (18436572... same as small block)

Carbureator - Holley 2300 part number:
Manual - 3940929 (R-4055-1A) Primary
All - 3902353 (R-3659-A) Secondary
Auto - 3940930 (R-4056-1A) Primary

Float Level - Primary - .350
