Re: 396 Cam change for 1971
For 1972, compression was down to 8.5:1 and net horsepower had fallen from 242 down to 210, so a significant drop. SAE net torque on the big block was still 320, but that's less than half what comes in the new Z06 :-)
Still not sure on head changes, but I think there was a chamber change.
