Offies did a lot more than 300HP with four cyclinders.


Engineering wise, the Offy was far far far advanced
over what Detroit was putting in production cars in
the 60's (despite the Offy having been designed in
the 30s). It's a fascinating design.

A good test of someone who thinks they know engines
is to ask them to describe an Offy head gasket.
