It was the optional 350 egnine offered from '73-'82? replaced the LT-1 in '73. It's a very good motor. We took a '75 L-82 rated at 205 hp and added a XE268 cam,WP sportsman heads,RPM intake, headers,and Rebuilt Q-Jet to push it to about 380-400 hp. Great bottom end- 4 bolt mains,pink rods,windage tray& pan, steel crank and forged flat top pistons.

Higher performance optional small block engine from 1973 until 1980. HP ranged from a high of 250 in 73 and 74 to a low of 205 in 75. HP was back up to 230 when discontinued in 80. The base engine that came standard was the L-48. HP for L-48 ranged from 165 to 195 depending on year.

Re: L-82 (Bob50th)

Of the C3 corvettes produced with the 350 engine from the years 1973 thru 1981 there were two engine equipment options. The L48 and the L82. The L82 was a higher performing version which included aluminum intake and valve covers, a higher performance camshaft, and higher compression. Those were the main things. There may be a few others but I cant recall right now.
