I just bought a '75 2.0. The manual says it has 84hp and 97 lb.ft of torque. I have read different sites and here claiming it has 100hp. What is it and what would the difference be?

Forget it, I found the page. It appears I have a GC Engine @ ~88hp. Now how do I get this up to 100? Pistons?
It appears the US GA engine @ 96hp has 7.6:1 and so does the GC. The Euro engine has 8:1 and 100hp???? |
