Wow, 51hp from a 308 and 61 from a 350 chev times have changed.

They are the RAC ratings for each motor (an old rating system) , the actual horsepower is also listed as there as 240 and 275 for each

[GNW1974]

Interesting to see the RAC ratings, my ute had 42hp listed on the rego papers in WA in the early eighties. (it was a L31 ute but the person who registered it listed it as a 253 size engine - used to do police vehicle inspections and hence cheaper rego) I can remember talking about this rating and where it came from when I owned the ute and no one could give me a clear answer.
