The only performance (4 barrel) V8 available in that car was the 273/235hp. It is currently rated at 210hp. Jim

Clarification:
The NHRA Class. Guide lists the '66 Valiant 273 4bbl "Commando" motor as having factored HP of 210 for Stock; 230 for Super Stock.

Oops. You are correct sir! 230hp in SS and 210hp in Stk. Very unique car.Jim
230hp X 12 = 2760 + 170 = 2930lbs in SS/K

I just like the old mopars don't see many like this in SS.You see more of them in Stock.
Thanks for the info. My father ran SS/K back in the early to mid 80s In a Demon low Comp. 340 motor had to weigh 3520 with driver.Here is a picture of it back then.
