About the rpm and torque of the flathead jeep engine.39 hp and 105 ft-lbs of torque at 2000 rpm. Max rpm is 4000.I do truely believe,(from my reading) that the reason the model "A" produces thesame torque and hp as the jeep, while the jeep is 1/3 lower in displacementis the very poor breathing of the model "a" engine. This man was able to increase the ford engine to 168 lbs torque, this equals thec-85.Further the jeep at 134 cid, and with as big a valves as can safely be installed(factory valves) is probably at it's max or nearly so at 105 ft lbs.The c-65, is i believe rated at 125 ft lbs at around 2400rpm. It seems to me thatif one were to install a power carb (if there is such a thing) and headers,onthe jeep engine he should be able to increase the torque to nearly the sameas the c-65, and still cruse the engine at around 2000 rpm.I am not in any way an engine expert however...oilcanbobhttp://www.mailexcite.com________________________________________________________________________________
