I did my 70(370 gears) a few years back with a G-tech. 3-4 runs averaged mid 250's rwhp. 0-60 was a dog in the mid 6's. Forget the 1/4 time but I believe the speed was in the 103-105 range. Great top end ,dog out of the box
Might not be exact, but it sure was fun

That's interesting! Are you sure they are 370's? I have 370's in my 69 L-46 and it's insane at the low end! Been enough over a buck to be satisfied so it doesn't suffer at the top end either.

The cam in the L-46 is not agressive in the low RPM range. Real screamer up top though.

I had rebuilt my 69 L46 last year. Dropped the compression down to 10.50,
Edelbrock Performer intake, stock 2.02 heads, stock Qjet, Hedman header, roller tip rockers, roller cam and lifters, crane cam. Had it dynoed and got like 320 HP, and 278 RWHP not the numbers I expecting after the rebuild. If I Put an Edelbrock head, it would give me another 30-40 HP. But that's going to be a long time from now. Just glad that it's running and on the road.

Better yet, tighten the lobe separation angles with an aftermarket cam to 110 or 108 degrees.
