What is the stock horsepower for a 57L V8 from 1988-2000?

There's no single answer to the stock horsepower of a 5.7L V8 from 1988-2000. The horsepower varied significantly depending on the *application*. That means the specific vehicle make and model the engine was installed in. The same 5.7L engine could produce different horsepower numbers due to things like:

* Manufacturer: GM, Chrysler, and Ford all used 5.7L V8s during this period, and each tuned them differently.

* Year: Even within a single manufacturer and model, horsepower could change year to year due to emissions regulations and other engineering updates.

* Engine Code: Specific engine codes (like the GM LT1, or various small-block Chevy codes) indicated variations in internal components impacting horsepower.

To find the stock horsepower for a specific 5.7L V8, you need to specify:

* The make and model of the vehicle. (e.g., 1995 Chevrolet Corvette, 1998 Dodge Ram 1500)

* The specific engine code (if known).

Once you provide this information, you can find the factory horsepower rating in owner's manuals, repair manuals, or online automotive databases.
