375 was the big plenium Rochester Fuel Injection engine in 65 after which
the porcupine engine was the answer at a much lower price.
Limiting factor was the venturi which kept the CFM down to about 520. While
at GMI I came across information on the Grand Sport Corvettes showing the
diameter increased from 2" to 2.329" which kicked the flow over 700 CFM.
Since was running B/P in a 63 split window at the time and the rules were
very specific about carberators (this Rochester or this Holly) but said
little about the FI except that it was allowed, I spent some time hogging
out some choke assemblies and filling all of the casting voids revealed
with epoxy.
Now even back then it was known that if you built a full race SBC with SCCA
legal components and could get enough air flow, it would wind to the moon
and it did.
