Dear listers

Anybody got any experience on the power outputs of Climax engines?

I understand that the F1 DOHC 2.5 litre engine made 235 bhp in their day,
but what about the 2000cc
the 1500cc twincam
the 1500cc single cam (if there is such a thing)
and the 1100cc SOHC (runnning on twin SUs?

What extra power is available today compared with the 50s? AND how
expensive are they to keep together?

Many thanks

Geraint Owen
