Did i just mess up

The cc size does not mean how much hp.
Years ago I had a ford 2300 cc engine in a dirt car. 310 hp 14:1 compression.

So how do I know what I have?

I always just search the model number.
Even if it is only 24hp I would use it. I went down 4 hp on one of my Toro's. And it does fine.

I found a tag on the left side of the motor.with engine family numbers .

EPA emissions junk as I said.

The motor say 27 gross HP.I'm putting it on a 2012 zmaster 48 inch cut. Hopefully it works ok.

As long as they are the same year the HP rating will be the same. Meaning if it is the old style of HP rating the other engine will have the old style of HP rating also regardless of manufacture. All engine manufactures used the old style rating system when it was legal to do so. So you will be getting a HP jump.

From what I know this is a 27hp
The replacement engine is only 24hp
I do know they run around $1000 new.

 

[RDA.Lawns]

So is it a 27 or 24 ? Its lower cc than what I'm replacing but if its a true 27 I'm still gaining hp

 

[BlazNT]

From these numbers it's 27hp
