Default Original 216 Cu.In. rated at 85 HP

According to most sources CMP 216 Cu.In. were rated at 85 HP at 3400 RPM with a 170 Ft.Lbs. of Torque at 1200 RPM.

Though as you get into the late 40s and early 50s the same basic engine is rated near 100 HP.

I will be interested to hear if the engine you found is dimensionally the same on the outside to mounting points.

Cheers Phil
