lower compression yes that allowed for the owner to fit his own blower or turbo
the early 70s were the times when hotrodders lead the way,
So GM worked with the goverment and the custom industry to present a product that would suit both the hot rodding fan and fit in with governmental pressures.
it also promoted employment in the custom industry.
thats why GM was way ahead of ford and mopar

There's not a lot of difference in technology from 65 to 82 (except wider wheels, EGR and "missfire injection") :huh:

Sorry, but had to put my 10 cents worth. . that's like saying that there's no difference between an Fj Holden and a Vk commodore . . lol
bfit:
FJ Holden or a VK chev ( Vk they are principal a chevy car )
the FJ has charisma nostalgic appeal and fitted with a 350 and 4 speed
it will scare the shirt of most people.
and the pants of some girls.
Oh then there is EH or HR ohhhh with a Big block Muncie and 9" rear, 9 inches.
NOW we are talking about real hotrods. 10 second street cars
I can't say that about a VK, all dolled up with dressy wheels and no muffler

65-82 shared the same chassis (dimensions) same brakes, same steering, same suspension, same engine blocks, gearboxes
(BW then Muncie, then BW again) same diff (till 1980)
So, really, that's your comparison ?
69VETTE:
Bfit, you are way too funny buddy. Yes very true, but not practical for daily drivers. You have to admit that you can't beat technology.
Try driving an Fj or an Eh with a 350 Chev that does 10s on the quarter daily, or even beta from Sydney to Melbourne . lol
