1955 Chris Craft 21’ Capri with Hemi

Post by Bullwinkle » Sun Aug 07, 2022 6:33 pm

I have an original 1955 21’ Chris Craft Capri with an original 331 Hemi. Does anyone know the max rpm of the engine and suggested cruising rpm? Also I need a sending unit for the gas tank.

I read the Maintenance manual cover to cover and all I found was:
Torque 298lbs @ 2800 RPMs
Horsepower 200 @ 3800 RPMs
Horsepower usually peaks then drops off before the engine Maxs out.
