echris 1,425 #1 Posted November 25, 2021 Happy Thanksgiving all! I was looking up the specs on a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette 396 V-8 Turbo-Jet tonight and the spec sheet I found only listed Brake Horse Power. I wanted the real "to-the-road" numbers so naturally I looked it up. That's when it hit me. All machines are rated in relation to, "THE POWER OF A WHEEL HORSE" Wheel Horse Power. 1 3 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's say for the sake of the argument that the '65 396 produced 350 WHP on the Vette. That's roughly 35 310-8's. I want to make that a thing: Them: "How much power she got?" ME: "About 35 310-8's."
