How can I tell whether my toro is 375 or 400 hp?

 

I am working from memory here but I think for 1969 the 455 toro engine was rated at 365 bhp and the "plain jane" version in the B bodies was rated at 320 bhp. List your vin and someone here can check it for sure with references. Welcome to our site.

 

Thanks here's the vin: 394879M605106 Here's the trans code: 69-0J 3817

Thanks in advance for any info!

 

If I am correct the 1969 toro motors were rated at 375 hp the only toro motors rated at 400 hp were the W-34 package, the W-34 cars have a OM transmission code. 375 hp cars have OJ transmission codes.

 

'69 OJ trans code engines were 375 HP @ 4600 Rpms , 510 ft #s of torque @ 3k rpms.
and the w-34 (OM) engines were rated at 400@4800, 500 FT#s @ 3200 Rs.
IMHO I like the 425s in the 66- 67 Toros best ; 385 HP and 475 Ft#s.

 

how many of each were made in 69?

 

1969 Toronado production was around 28,500, W-34 production for 1969 is unknown, only about 13 are known to exist and only 5 of those have been documented as W-34's

 

You have a 375 hp Toronado (OJ tranny code, commaon on alot of 1966-78 Toros). OM tranny code, is for the 400 hp jobs from 1968-70.
Production of W-34s; 1968: 111 1969 : ????? 1970 (know as GTs): 5,341
