It is not uncommon to feed the oil (pressurised), coolant, electricity from an external source to the engine on a testbed to be able to control all conditions like oil pressure and temperature, coolant temperature etc..

I think if the oil pump isn't in the engine, it would be a pretty short, and 
relatively expensive and noisy, dyno session....

Back in those days they gave the power at the flywheel, without 
dynamo/alternator or any electrical load, I think even without water pump and 
oil pump.
On the dyno you get the power on the rear wheels, sometimes it is calculated 
back to the flywheel, assuming a certain percentage of loss through the 
transmission. Thus the figures are not at all comparable.

The result.

Maximum power is 160 bhp at 5500 revs.

Max torque is 158 ft/lbs at 3100 revs and stays flat until 4700.

Torque is 140ft lbs at 1700 so there is a very broad and useable power
band.

I think we can safely say a stock BJ8 never produced 150 bhp!

He told me that  whenever he tests classic cars there is always a very
large difference between reality and the bhp figures stated at the time.
