Power question- need your help
Hello all. I have a buddy who asked me how much power a 67 camaro or chevelle puts out- he is loooking at a vette with a swapped engine in it. he knows it was either from a 67 camaro or chevelle. the engine was the stock option 350- not one of the hop up options. i personally have no idea what it puts out, and even a ballpark figure would be a great help(within 50-70 h.p.) alll i know is that it was from the musclecar era, so i figure it is at least better than the stock 195 hp engine. if possible, a ballpark figure on the torque would be great. any help would be greatly appreciated and kudos to you all on your beautiful vettes :cheers: :chevy

Probably about 250HP, 300 torque. Those are gross figures, however.
If the Corvette in question had 195HP, it was rated under the net system, which means it would be practically the same as the above. Nothing special about that motor.
To convert old gross numbers to net, subtract approximately 20%.
