Chevrolet: 1973 Camaro Z28 350ci engine hp, camaro z28, engine hp

Question
I purchased a 1973 Z28 from the factory in 1973.  For years, I thought I had purchased a 350ci V8 engine with  a holley dual pumper producing 350hp.  All of my recent research indicates that my memory is flawed.  Can you tell me if the above combination was possible in 1973?

Thanks,

Ken  

Answer
As far as I know, the top rated 5.7L 350 in the Z28 produced 245 hp.

"The Camaro, much like the rest of the industry, had to adapt to new government and insurance safety and emission regulations. This meant new safety features like larger bumpers needed to be affixed to the car that could protect the vehicle and its occupants at certain speeds. Engines were detuned to comply with safety and emission concerns. The cars became safer but their performance was seriously crippled. This was true for the Camaro in 1973 when its highest producing engine was a 350 cubic-inch V-8 that produced 245 horsepower."
