I think it is 220 bhp for the stock 4.2 engine, but that is the British-standard, I do not know what that number translates to American-standard for horsepower.

USA cars with the 8.0 compression had 170 SAE net horsepower. ROW cars with the 9.0 compression had 205 SAE net horsepower

Different pistons and/or shave the cylinder head. The cylinder head has a ton of 'meat'. You can take off almost a full 100 thou.
