Engines were HP rated on the dyno, with no accessories being powered- - - -not even a water pump! Definitely not a generator of any other engine-driven equipment. Regardless of what the advertised HP might be, I'd probably have a hard time seeing it on a dyno without the same kinds of fudge factors the factory was using. Slap any kind of decal you want on it- - - - -the true HP with the engine installed in the vehicle will be lower! Jerry
