Re: 80 L48 Horse power (scorciae)
I put mine on a rear wheel dyno and it gave 186 rwhp at 4200 RPM and 285 lbs of torque at 2??? rpm.
The modification that the engine have is no cats, no emission stuff, recurve distributor and stock carb rejetted.

Re: 80 L48 Horse power (American Boy)
I had similar rear wheel perf with 195rwhp and about 325ft lbs torque after rebuild that included cam, intake, distributor recurve, duals (no cat). Have since added heads, headers, new duals, richened carb settings. Much better :smash:

Re: 80 L48 Horse power (TedH)
The first thing you after a dyno run is aking yourself what can I do to put more hp in it. :D I'm building a 350 rollercam engine with vortec head to spice thing up. I'll put it on the dyno next summer to see the improvement. Does it ever end??? :lol:
