Cockney Rebel may know better, but doing some research:
Originally powered with a Leyland strait 6 deisel - 9.6 litres (590 cu) with 150 BHP @ 2000 rpm.
Later replaced with an AEC deisel 11.6 litres.
Some were fitted with Cummins deisels.
Actually what I found was that they were all I-6 diesels.
The Leyland 9.6 came in 2 basice versions. 95hp and 115hp
The AEC 11.6 came in a 150hp and 175 hp version
The Cummins motor was a recent retrofit of a handfull of restored busses.
The gearbox is always some sort of manual 4 speed.
Aside from adding sequetial turbo-chargers, there's probably not much that can be done with the original engines.
