200 bhp should be reasonable don't know about the torque, contact Rebello
for absolute max. John Banks claims 180 hp at 6000 rpm at the rear wheels
in an AP Datsun from dyno runs which probably calculates to 230 to 240 bhp
and his car is very strong.

2200 to 2400 depending on year and trim 70-72 bodies are the lightest

3.3 (Manual) or 3.5 (Automatic) is all that is available as OEM 70-78.
Unconfirmed rumors have 3.7 in 2+2's 74-78. 3.9 was not available until 1981
in ZX.
