Actually,the L84 was uprated to 375hp in the 1965 Corvette. I know,I had two of them,,a coupe and a roadster. 1967 Corvettes could also be equipped with the L68 427 that was basically a 390hp with tripower induction.

To go from a 350 to a 302 just requires one to change the crank and pistons. A 302 would be a dog in a later 66-72 Chevelle because of the extra weight.

So, why would any current owner/builder think about destroking a sbc? I think CHP did an article on making a 327. There were so few 302's and riding in a car that the motor was comfortable at 4000 to over 7000 was so cool. Again, can a 350 be destroked enough? mike --- Clint Hooper <[EMAIL PROTECT
