My 1950 B2 PW-126 (SS#803919213) data plate says 78 horsepower. I believe the engine is not original, it's a T96, not a T136. I think it is a 218ci. out of a 1940 1+1/2 ton Dodge.
All of my books say the PW 230ci was rated at 94 horsepower. Any clues as to why my data plate says 78hp? Would this correspond with a 218ci? Also, what displacement and horsepower will I have boring the 218 sixty over?
Thanks for any help!
