The 454 was rated at 365 horsepower. I don't recall the torque right off-hand. Somewhere around 440?? I never seen any 0-60 times, but the 60-0 is about 125 ft.
The rear axle ratio is probably 3.31:1 This was standard. Positraction was an option.
Sounds like a nice car!

454,
The LS5 in 71 produced 365 hp@4800rpm and 465 lbs@3200rpm.Motor trend clocked a 71 with an auto and 3.31 rear 0-60 in 6.7 seconds and 1/4 i 14.7 at 96 mph.Nice ride that ran an 8.50 to 1 compression.
