How much horsepower does a stock 1973 oldsmobile 98 have?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

If it has the 455, it is a torque monster. You will not keep treads on the rear tires for too long. I'm not sure what the HP rating was, but I guarantee you that the torque was in the 400 plus ft-lb range.

Once owned a 73 - 98 coupe. Very rare...

Answer 2

It didn't have much due to the low compression and mods needed to burn unleaded. It was not nearly as powerful as those a couple of years older. Factory rating of 245hp meant nothing though.

Answer 3

405cu. in. or 455?
