I have question that maybe can't be answered .

Can anyone provide the HP, Torque (in LB FT), and compression ratio of WWI a/c engines?

I saw a piece on tv stating that the Hisp. Suiza V8 had 325 hp and 1000 IL Ft of torque.....this was 1915 model.

I done believe these figures because these engines were running 5/1 compression with very octant fuel.

And what kind of rpm were these engines capable of?
