So it is the dame amount of hp, just measure different? Or were the engines really less powerful?

Same power, just different ways of rating it. Kind of how camshafts are both rated at "advertised" and ".050". The lobes are the same, the duration is just rated differently due to the tests being different.

Not that high. A reason for that is because today's accessories are not nearly as damaging to power as they used to be; just like catalytic converters.
Maybe 375-385 or so, off of the top of my head, since 345 was pretty "light" of a rating as it is.
