According to this article, the L70 would make 360 HP!

But that doesn't mean none were built. Reader Lynn Dockey directed us to a question about the L-70's existence in Philip Borris's 2012 book, "Echoes of Norwood: General Motors Automobile Production During the Twentieth Century," in which Borris noted that GM initially intended the 360-hp L-70 as a sort of smaller sibling to the L68/L71 tri-power big-block 427s found in the Corvette.

Was the L70 more than a 350 with trip deuces? Like a higher compression ratio and a solid cam? A 65 HP gain with just a 3x2 induction doesn't add up
