Junkyard tip: power ratings changed by vehicle, so a car-rated number doesn't carry over to a different platform. Use the donor engine finder to compare it with other engines of the same size.

Specs are GM ratings as published; power varied by year and vehicle. Confirm any engine by the RPO code on the glovebox/console sticker.
