They are rated at 150 HP, however that is WITHOUT accessories like the water pump etc. So more realistically expect 120 maybe 125-130, the Turbo 2.8L by comparison made 180 HP and 200 TQ, I think those numbers are probably realistic, due to laws mandating certain dyno claims.
Exactly as mudge said, until about '74, HP ratings were gross rated, basically as engine ran without exhaust manifolds, accessories, air cleaner, etc. Completely bare, that is.

As a comparison, the 1981-84 Nissan Maxima uses a fuel injected L24 and is rated at 120hp and 138lbs of torque.
