Default Sierra 2 litre 8 valve twin cam engine stock power output?

Help, does anyone know 100% what it is ?
Moving house has meant that I had to sell my Cossie and I've just won the bidding on this to keep life half interesting

My insurance company will want to know power increase over stock 2 litre, the Rover V8 is around 155bhp if I remember right but I don't know what the DOHC had.

Pics




Bit of an old minger I know but should be fun

125 bhp thanks for that, so only a 30bhp increase. I was worried about the stock brakes and suspension but they should cope with that for a while.

As for a turbo

If you want a cheap modification, use your hubs but fit cossie 4x4 calipers with 2wd disks, cheap upgrade stops a twinky ok, anyway rover blocks are all ally so probably onlt weigh simlar to a twinky anyway
