I got a 1776 put into my square, it is supposed to be near 100 hp or so. The mechanic said that he adjusted it so that it would not run as hot (I think that he made it run slightly rich to do that, or something) it has (from looking at the bill) a Web 118 cam counterweighted. The engine accelerates well but the top speed is not all that fast 75-80mph floored. No problems with it overheating yet (in a year & a half) >I have a 68 fastback.
