```
Horsepower = (Cubic centimeters * Revolutions per minute) / (63,025)
```
In this case, we have a 179 cc engine. Let's assume the revolutions per minute (RPM) is 3600.
```
Horsepower = (179 * 3600) / 63,025
```
```
Horsepower = 642,240 / 63,025
```
```
Horsepower ≈ 10.19
```
Therefore, a 179 cc Sears snow blower engine has approximately 10.19 horsepower.
