Default Camaro 350ci

Quick question here. Back in the 70's, what if any was the difference between the standard Vette 350 and the Camaro 350?? How about a difference over the years? Thanks to you historians.... :D :D :D

The engines were basicly the same with the Camaro being down by about ten HP on the Vettes. The Vettes had less restrictive exhausts which accounted for the power differences.

In the mid to late 70s, the L48 and the Z28 were the same engine. Until 1974 the LT-1 and later L-82 found its way into the Z28.
