I make it 440 hp from a Model A engine. 200 hp from 1,500 cc is 0.1333 hp per cc. The Model A engine is, as you say, 3,300 cc. 0.1333 X 3,300=440hp.
I doubt even a new Burtz would do that, let alone an original Model A engine. 133 hp per litre is one HOT engine. An original Model A engine gives 12.1 hp per litre.
