Are the 325 hp 369s truly rated at 325 hp or were they underrated like many other engines of the era.

The L35 cam was so mild that the engine couldn't make much real horsepower. I had an L35 Beaumont with the L78 cam. That cam change alone really woke the car up yet the cam is gentle enough for the stock valvetrain. The engine itself has good potential without losing all it's street manners. I've always found the GM specs more or less in the ball park.
