Oh my, that’s just wrong. How on earth can you make a 350 V8 only put out 125hp????? ...hopefully it still had loads of torque.
My wife’s car has a 3.5L V6 that puts out over 300hp. I had a 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo, 2.4L V4, putting out 300hp.
For a V8 - that’s criminal!!! lol
The trolls on this thread really need to lighten up. Let yourself laugh every once in a while. It’s good for the soul.

HP = Torque x RPM
Torque = HP / RPM.
Directly related.
It was a smaller 305 cid V8 as someone else has noted, but still. And the answer to your question is late-70s emissions controls.
It was an ugly, ugly time until people started figuring out electronic engine controls.
