Big deal?
It was still 425HP and then GM reduced it to 375 "playing the game".
Insurance and sanctioning body game that is.
If I had a nickel for every chebbie friend I had as a kid that owned a 396/375 anything and bragged about how it is really a 425 HP I would be a wealthy man.  |
According to the blueprint guide, and the old Chevy parts manuals, in 1965 the cam in the 396/425 Corvette engine is bigger than the cam in the 396/375 passenger car engine.
In later years, the cam is the same in all of the top of the line 396 engines, and they are all rated at 375.
