Chevrolet Performance, formerly "GM Performance Parts", is an automotive performance parts brand that sells everything from camshafts and cylinder heads to high-performance crate engines and upgrades for late-model Chevrolet vehicles. It was founded in 1967 to support the Trans-Am Camaro race teams.
The use of multiple carburetors (e.g., a carburetor for each cylinder or pair of cylinders) also results in the intake air being drawn through multiple venturi. [16] Some high-performance engines have used multiple two-barrel or four-barrel carburetors, for example six two-barrel carburetors on Ferrari V12s.

In 1971, it dropped to 245 hp (183 kW), and net performance further dropped to 165 hp (123 kW) for 1972 and 145 hp (108 kW) for 1973–1976. It was basically the two-barrel version of the L48 350. It was produced until the 1976 model year.

Power output is up to 95 hp (70.8 kW).
