HP of a dodge ram?

[mopar_1974]

Just wondering what my 1984 dodge power ram 1 ton 360 had for hp and tq ratings stock. I really can't find any sources that really say. can anyone help me out on this?

It was rated at about 170hp net. The Lil' Red Express which is basically an E58 was rated at 225hp.

The real only difference between the "standard" 360 and the E58 is the camshaft and intake package. The heads are basically the same. Just take your 360, install a cam, intake/carb and you will be over 200hp easy. Headers will add some also but the truck manifolds being they are a center dump style aren't the worst things on the planet.
