Seems like a useful thing to have summarized somewhere. While you can build just about auybof these to be a monster compared to stock, how about if we list stock values for now as one reference point?
1.7 flat 4 - 79 1.8 flat 4 - 84 2.0 flat 4 - 99 2.0 flat 6 - 109 2.2 flat 6 - 2.4 flat 6 - 2.7 flat 6 - 150-200 3.0 flat 6 - 3.2 flat 6 - 213-240 3.6 flat 6 - 275-300 Look like the right list? |

While you can build just about auybof these to be a monster compared to stock, how about if we list stock values for now as one reference point? 1.7 flat 4 - 79 1.8 flat 4 - 84 2.0 flat 4 - 99 2.0 flat 6 - 110-170 (~210 race) 2.2 flat 6 -125-180 (~230 race) 2.4 flat 6 - 130-190 (~250-270 race) 2.7 flat 6 - 150-210 3.0 flat 6 - 180-204 (~310-330 race) 3.2 flat 6 - 207-231 3.6 flat 6 - 250-285 (300 with rare Powerkit) 3.8 flat 6 - 300 (310+ race) Look like the right list? ^ Quick stab working with some factory numbers from reference materials here. These reflect the lowest lows (typically but not always U.S.-spec), and the highest highs (typically RoW). Tried to add some numbers for same-displacement race engines from the factory in period, but not all of them (2.2, SC/RS, etc) are accounted for. As you note, these can be built into just about anything, and engine builders and hot-rodders have learned a lot since these engines were new—the youngest among them is now 21 years old while the oldest is 50+. I would have been happy with the stock 160 hp from a 2.2E with my budget build, but it made 169.9 hp at the wheels when we dialed the carbs in. Mods were Solex cams, headers, a little compression, "a little head work" (I am still suspicious), and crank-fire ignition. Stock Mahle 2.2E pistons, mag case, and Weber 40s...nothing special...but I suspect tricks gained over time allowed John Holleran to build a 2.2 "E" that makes more power than a stock 2.2 S did. And it's more tractable too, feeling like a 3.0 down low with the only downside being it doesn't love going past 6000-6500 rpm. It'll do it, but it doesn't race to redline up top. Offset is very usable power. |
