I saw one of these in a carport, and asked the guy about it. Starting waffling on how good it was, and said the engine made 199 kW!
How so? I think HSV managed to get 195 kW out of the 5 litre iron many years later. Any more needed stroking.

Do you mean how did they manage to get 267hp out of 304cui back then? Pretty easy really.

I would guess, that the stronger bottom end allowed them to rev the motor another 500rpm, and a small cam upgrade over 165kw, or cold airbox, exhaust mods, retune.
As you say, 199kw isn't alot from 5L

It'd be interesting to see if the 198kw has the same torque output as the 165.
