What was the HP of a Camaro 350 in 1971?
The base 350 and non-Z28 350’s ranged from 165 to 210 hp in 1971, so a drop to 185 after emissions and catalytic converters came in in ’74 isn’t a huge drop, and torque was off only 10%. Sure that’s all a downward trend, mot upward, but it wasn’t a fall off of a cliff as is being portrayed here and elsewhere.
What was the HP of the Camaro Z28 in 1977?
When the Z28 returned in 1977, the HP was 185 HP, but the torque was still 280 ft-lbs. A big drop in 1978 HP for the same displacement and torque suggests that’s a good hint that the HP number was probably de-rated.
