Thanks Grant for the tyre dimensions.

Tony, I did not realise the power curve of the Ford V8 was that steep!

I would like to see an official GM chart of the 216 power and torque curve should any Chev enthusiasts have one available to compare?

All the online sources I can find mainly deal with the later 216/235/261 on post-war fuel and compression ratios, and how to "Hot-rod" them.

Default Just so happens here is the GM power curve

Hi Tony

I've searched in the past and this is what I found.

http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/2...ifications.htm

Basically as the engine developed they revved higher and produced their power at higher RPM. One of the reasons the 261 is such a nice replacement for the 216.

Will try and find the original source and save the data to post directly.

Cheers Phil
