Even back in 1966, there was some confusion on the L78 cars. Many people would call them 425 hp cars because the 1965 Corvette L78 was rated at 425 hp and was almost the same engine as the 66-70 L78. There was such a big difference between the 350hp 396 and the 375hp 396 that many people felt the L78 was significantly under rated.
