Default Re: Rear Wheel Horsepower & Torque

My Zipper with ‘31 A running gear and a ‘39 transmission put out 60 HP at the rear wheels and a hundred something torque. The car is 1700 pounds. Engine has a 7:1 head, inserts, crank counterweights, FS ignition, headers, Weber 32/36 carb and 32# flywheel with a V8 clutch. Could have purchased at least three SBC crate motors for what it cost to get a 50% increase in HP!
