to high for a 80 model if it were a looper late 80's that would be nice but not for a cross-flow 140.

post that 140 on Scream and Fly, there are plenty of cross flow guys out there looking for those, in reality its the same as the later 115's(crank shaft hp vs propshaft hp) but theres some alure to having one thats a 140

I don't remeber exactly when they changed the ratings, but they went from flywheel hp to propshaft sometime in the 80's. From what I've heard, the 140 crossflow makes around 120 at the shaft, they dropped the compresion also when they built the 115.
