What would be the level of power you hope for?
The current AMG M10 EQ Power+ is estimated to produce upwards of 900HP, +160HP from KERS.
To compare this with previous engines (estimated figures):
The BMW M12 was claimed to be at 1,400HP in race trim, but only for up to 4 laps. In race trim this was circa. 800HP.
V8s, V10s and V12s have never really delivered much in excess of 800HP at best, and most were closer to 750HP.
