soup.html Did you get the torque and HP numbers for the 261 out of the May 1955 HRM article? That was about what Frank McGurk got with a stock 261 with a muffler, etc., so it should probably compare with the net SAE HP and torque of the 292. Just on the larger displacement, a 292 should put out about 12 percent more torque than a 261, but the 292 certainly cannot trace its roots back to early days of hot rodding.
