* Displacement: 350 cubic inches (5.7 liters)
* Bore and Stroke: 4.00 inches bore x 3.48 inches stroke
* Horsepower: 230 hp (SAE net) at 4,000 rpm (Note: SAE net horsepower ratings were lower than the previous gross horsepower ratings. This engine likely produced more power using the older gross rating method.)
* Torque: 330 lb-ft at 3,200 rpm
* Compression Ratio: 9.5:1
* Fuel System: Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor
* Valvetrain: Hydraulic lifters, pushrods, rocker arms
* Heads: Aluminum heads (a key differentiator of the L82 from the base L48)
* Ignition: Electronic ignition
* Transmission: Available with either a 3-speed automatic or 4-speed manual transmission.
It's important to note that these are factory specifications. Actual horsepower and torque can vary slightly depending on the condition of the engine and any modifications made. The aluminum heads were a significant performance upgrade over the cast-iron heads found on the base L48 engine, resulting in improved breathing and higher output.
