does I really need to swap the motor to get some performance???
Can I purchase some performance parts for this motors (350 4 barrels)

Some guys said It produce 160hp but said that GM don't said the right hp cause of the emission regulation?? Is it true??

Do I get a L81 or a L82 motors for this year and does GM produces some LT-1 in 1975???

Sorry maybe it's a stupid question but Im a newby!!!!

Thanks

There is no reason for you to swap out your engine! Just modify what you have.

BTW, I think for around $1500 you could easily make over 300 HP if you do the work yourself.

Here's some info on STOCK 75s.

And the poster above is correct, for 1500 bucks or so you could nearly double the stock HP.

Where is St Nicholas? I might be putting together a "track day" with a bunch of guys from work at Sanair in early May if you want to see how fast (or slow...) your car is in the 1/4 mile.
