chiltons guide

[Anonymous]

so i was reading in my chiltons and there is a chart that lists horsepower, i have a 72 mav, with a 200, it says it has 91 hp
Is this right? do i realy get less than .5 hp per CI!?
not that it realy matters that much, just wondering

That's probably about right, SAE net HP. These engines were developed for economy of use, low manufacturing cost, and durability, not power.
