HOW MUCH POWER DID THE 1965-70 L78 375-HP 396 REALLY MAKE PART 1? FULL 396 BBC BUILD & DYNO ATTEMPT

Video Description:

DID THE L78 375-HP 396 ACTUALLY MAKE 375 HP, OR DID IT MAKE 425 HP (RATED IN 1965)? HOW MUCH POWER DID THE SS396 REALLY MAKE? COULD THE LITTLE BIG BLOCK TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE REC-PORT, CLOSED CHAMBER, BIG-VALVE HEADS? WAS THE CAM SHARED WITH THE 425-HP L72 427 AND 450-HP LS6 454 TOO BIG FOR THE SMALLER 396? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I DETAILED THE FULL BUILD UP OF A REPLICA OF THE L78 396 AND WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED TO RUN IT ON THE ENGINE DYNO!
