300B of 1956 was rated at 355HP at 5200 RPM with a displacement of 354
Cubic Inches. (dual WCFB 4bbls) was always lousy in math, but I thought that
was more than one HP per cubic inch, yet the automotive press and most of
the world heralded the Chevy for achieving that a year later. Go Figure ? ?

The true output of that hemi is generally accepted to be closer to the 400
HP mark.)
