Here are a couple of forumlas and the resulting HPs:

weight / (ET / 5.825)^3 = HP

3420 / (10.41 / 5.825)^3 = 599.19

AND

weight * (speed / 234)^3 = HP

3420 * (130.53 / 234)^3 = 593.62

I'm not a mathematician but both those forumulas are pretty standard and it seems you can do what the original fellow said he could do. 600 hp is pretty skookum but it's not 700.
