you'ed be better posting this in the main technical section, and just keep the club section for club stuff? more people will read your question there and so be more likely to get an answer

The power of an engine depends on a lot of variables, but you 70/80 figure should not be far off the mark.. (flywheel)

Your best option is to get it on a rolling road which will give you a starting figure,

guessworks - ask chewy when he's gonna put this engine in?

engine transplant has begun

998 is out

1275 to go in


Then the turn of the key

standard MG metro engines should be producing 70+ standard. So with the cam alone im guessin 75 - 80 easy.
