Ok i thought that i only was 155 hp.1971 318 was 230 hp.
In '71 they listed both gross and net ratings, in '72 they dropped the gross rating and only listed net.Ok i thought that i only was 155 hp.
And can you tell what the difference is between gross and net hp?In '71 they listed both gross and net ratings, in '72 they dropped the gross rating and only listed net.

230 advertised, actual horsepower 180hp at the wheel. Actual Compression ratio 8.1
My old Chilton book still shows 230hp for a 71........ fwiw.
Or....... 150-200 less than you really want
Hyup 380 is a good number, especially if the cylinder pressure is also right there with it. But not a 380/318, forget that........ unless it's supercharged, then I take it back,lol.My old Chilton book still shows 230hp for a 71........ fwiw.Or....... 150-200 less than you really want

Yup exactly only the early 318 were closer to factory specs but still off. If Chryslers measurements were correct I would have a 250 h.p slant six and a 325 hp 318........... lol but the 340 were actually higher in power than advertised early ones at least.Think of it this way....
GROSS. is what they. TELL you what you are going to make every paycheck.
NET . is what you actually bring home.
NET. is ..what you have to live on.
And ford friends will say their cars actually run, but most likely not lol.The bottom line is: 230 is the number you tell your friends.
The net number is the one you feel when driving... ask me how I know.
Stock 318's have low compression, a tiny camshaft and a tiny 2bbl. It is what it is, LOL.
Your friends with a Chebbie will all claim their engines make 300HP.
