It was also possible to order a v8 5.7L carburetor version developing 305 hp and 280 Nm with the GNX-R model.

Also, if you entered the Konami Code on your phone after calling customer service , the Buick Reatta could be ordered with the Grand National’s 3.8 Turbo instead of the 3800 .

  Yeah GM wasn’t capable of getting 300 net from an N.A. 350 at that time.

I love the idea that someone thought a 305 HP carbureted 350 was something that was possible for GM in 1987.

The Corvette made something like 240 out of an FI 350 at the time.
