Hi all just had an engine done and was wondering what sort of power I would get from it at the wheels. It's a 1275 20thou over light head work and 1:5 roller rockers 45 weber?

Depends on what dyno, all are different. Mine made 76HP ATW on a Dyno Dynamics with an RE13 cam, and 86.6 with the RE282. See other specs below.
But my head has big valves and ports, and the Redline manifold I spent 9 hours porting.

Like the good Doc says, it's very hard/ impossible to compare numbers from different dyno's in any meaningful way. For what it's worth (not much!), my engine which is more modified than yours, has a number of 75 Hp at the wheels at a place I would not recommend or go to again!

At a guess - 50 to 55

An 80 BHP engine has about 50 Hp ATW.

What was a standard Cooper S at the wheels?

From Memory 45 HP ATW, 78 HP at the flywheel.

I will do a search on here to see if there is any past discussions.
