According to a Road & Track test in 1979, the car put out 62.5 SAE net bhp
at 4600 rpm. That was down from 92 at 5500 in 1962, according to the
article.

Subject: 79 B HP rating?
I was perusing an MG book at the local Barnes & Noble when I ran
across a sentence proclaiming that the pollution-controlled MG
engines had "considerably less than the original 95 HP." If that's true,
a V8 swap is starting to look a lot better...
Not being able to find a HP rating in my manuals, I was wondering:
What was the official HP rating for a 1979 MGB?
