  Funny man... I don't think they knew what those meant in 1934, (ok I 
am sure those types of specs were known then but the manual says to 
tighten the head down, not even torque specs)  no way anyone has that 
information, but I do have BHP at various RPM's in the shop manual, 
lucky to have that much information.  I will post that when I get home.
