Yes, but you compared it to other GM 4 bbl 350's .
If you want a fair comparison, try the 70 350 Chevy... 1.375 carb @ 224 HP in a Nova.
Olds has the 1.18 carb..Same as a 305... Still not a good combo.
Just because someone has a car in his possession, it doesn't mean they ought to build a
non-competitive Stocker out of it ... It's a false economic situation, in the long run.
