The International Harvester Company (IHC) has been building its own proprietary truck engines since the introduction of their first truck in 1907. International tended to use proprietary diesel engines. In the 1970s, IHC built the DVT 573 V-8 diesel of 240 and 260 hp (179 and 194 kW) but these were not highly regarded and relatively few were sold.
290–305 hp (216–227 kW) @ 9500 rpm The Hart 420R and the Hart 420S are four-stroke , naturally aspirated , 2.0 L (120 cu in), four-cylinder engine , designed, developed and made by Hart Racing Engines , and tuned by Brian Hart , for Formula 2 and sports prototype racing applications, between 1975 and 1980.
Two common definitions used today are the imperial horsepower as in "hp" or "bhp" which is about 745.7 watts, and the metric horsepower as in "cv" or "PS" which is approximately 735.5 watts. The electric horsepower "hpE" is exactly 746 watts, while the boiler horsepower is 9809.5 or 9811 watts, depending on the exact year.
[citation needed] Falling between the base 300 cu in (4.9 L) Inline-6 and top-of-the line 460 cu in (7.5 L) gas V8, the 6.9 L engine was naturally aspirated and put out 170 hp (127 kW) at 3,300 RPM and 315 lb⋅ft (427 N⋅m) at 1,400 RPM.
The Northstar engine is a family of high-performance 90° V engines produced by General Motors between 1993 and 2011. Regarded as GM's most technically complex engine, the original double overhead cam, four valve per cylinder, aluminum block/aluminum head V8 design was developed by Oldsmobile R&D, [citation needed] but is most associated with Cadillac's Northstar series.
The power peak speed was raised to 4200rpm for the 9.2 kW (12.5 hp) 425cc engine from 1955, 4500rpm from 1962 and 5000 rpm - with 13 kW (18 hp) - from 1963. The new 602 cc and 435 cc engines introduced in 1970 made their power at 6750rpm - nearly double the speed of the original engine from 1948 but with very few changes to the engine's ...
The Chrysler B and RB engines are a series of big-block V8 gasoline engines introduced in 1958 to replace the Chrysler FirePower (first generation Hemi) engines. The B and RB engines are often referred to as "wedge" engines because they use wedge-shaped combustion chambers; this differentiates them from Chrysler's 426 Hemi big block engines that are typically referred to as "Hemi" or "426 Hemi ...
Brake horsepower per cubic centimeter or (bhp/cc) is a figure of merit that is used to indicate the 'state of tune' of an internal combustion engine. It is defined as the ratio of the engine's net power output to its displacement , the internal size.
