I have pieces of one of those engines I think GB still has the block, it had sleeves and 4.125" pistons. Block might be at my shop at T-Hill I don't remember. The crank is a masterpiece the rest of the engine is an archaeological adventure.

It was likely closer to 505ish rwhp.

So I'm wrong, it was more like 75 hp and -2 torques.

EDIT: WTF is wrong with IB? I can no longer upload jpg files the way I have for 17 frickin' years. I'm starting to hate this place.


This is great motivation for me to see these number with what was created at the time. I am assuming this is RWHP quoted?

Very interesting article, thanks for posting

Okay. Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking the wrong torque numbers.
