When they were 425hp in 1965, that was with the more streamlined Corvette exhaust manifolds that also fit & were used on full-size L78 cars that year. They became 375hp when fitted with Chevelle, Nova, Camaro log-style manifolds. It would interesting to see an exhaust manifold comparison on the dyno.
