Re: Big Block L-72 Question.
A friend worked on the line in the fall of '65 when the first L72 "B" body cars came down the line. For a short time they had 450 hp decals. Then they were changed to 425 hp. Through the early sixties all the manufacturers were playing a number oneupmanship game. It appears to be more of a numbers game than anything else. Perhaps reality finally set in as the new ratings were more in line with actual output. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
