Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

165 hp and only 230 ft lbs of torque.   The L-82 has 205 hp.

Mine is now 206 with 254 ft lbs.  Take a look at Corvette Enthuisist Mag June o7 for my mild step by step build up.   If you can't find it, let me know and I can mail a photo copy to you.  Send me a PM.
