Somewhere between 175 and 450 h.p. Is your engine the original one? Has it been rebuilt, and if so with what components? Without knowing just what you have, there's no real answer to your question. If you assume your new engine is rated as the original 230 hp engine was (to use as a baseline), you might be looking at somewhere in the 260-270's. But still, any answer you get is just going to be a wild guess.
