If it is the original motor probably around 180 - the higher performance motors were in the cars.

Post up the block casting number, date code, and front pad numbers and we can tell you what the engine was born as.

None of the trucks came with any HP numbers like that.

You'll need to throw some parts at it to get those kind of numbers.

It might run good and have some power. The PO could have put an aftermarket cam and stuff in it. But I doubt it would be pullin' those numbers with just a cam swap as well.
