1972 Delta 88 Royale

I was just wondering with a 1972 Royale, Rocket 350, what the horse power output would be? I don't know if it's a two or four barrel. I'm just curious because there is one for sale near my home and I'm trying to decide if I'm interested in it or not. I really like the old boats, but I already have a Caprice and a Cadillac Brougham. I don't really need another slow land yacht. The body on this car is pretty well shot, it's filled with bondo and painted over. So really, the only reason I'd really want to buy it is for something to rip around in this summer. However, I don't really know much about cars from the early 70s, prior to the switch to low output engines.

I've checked the car out, but I haven't taken it out for a ride. I really don't want to go back again without deciding if I'm really interested or not.

I guess basically what I really want to know is what kind of horse power the different Rocket 350 engines would kick out, and what the gearing ratio is like.

Thanks.
