well the stock 460 from 70 Linclon (same specs as 71 model) was rated at 365hp/500ftlbs of torque, so i think 400 is pretty well a given.

but it really depends on the cam they put into it.

Your numbers are gross figures vs net, but yeah it will be over 400ftlbs. Get a real cam, the stealth is a beast too.
