Dear Forum
I am looking for engine Torque values for the 320. Im not referring to bolt toruqe at all. All that is listed is engine horse power.
I have looked through all of my service books and the on line pdf service manuals here at Reference, and I could not find any torque engine output ratings. Does anyone here have such info or where I could find such information? In particular interested in the dual carb 320, 1947-1950 320 and the 1952 with 4 barrel.
Thanks
Clint
 
Motor's Auto Repair Manual for 1958 lists the 320.2 from '49 through '51 at 280 ft/lbs @2,000 RPM. For '52, same output, rated at 2,400 RPM. (They wound it up higher, but peak torque didn't change. ) In '52, BHP went up to 170 @ 3,800 from 152 @ 3,600 in '51. Compression ratio went from 7.2:1 to 7.5:1 in '52. TMI?
