Technical 1956 "power pack" engine:

Would anyone happen to know the specs of the 56 265 "power pack" engine? Particularly cam and compression. i want to know how they got 240hp from 265 inches. Also, i can't find the torque rating either.

The 240hp corvette version, not the 225hp one available in sedans, although go ahead and give specs for that as well.

Thanks.
