About how much HP do I have?

Just wondering about how much HP you think I have.

460, with performer 460 intake manifold, holley 4 barrel carb (I think it's a 650) I can post pics if you could tell from them. Exhaust manifolds, not sure about the heads (I think there stock). Everything else I think is stock.

Thanks.

MAAAAAYBE 300. Probably closer to 250.


A cheap performance upgrade would be ditch your factory timing chain set n favor of a 68-71 stock set. The 72+ timing gears were retarded about 3* for emissions.

If you want to go further look into a Comp x4256h or x4262h cam with the matching valve springs. 924-16 and 926-16 based off memory respectively. Id also try to budget for a good set of 1.75" primary headers.

That should get you close to 400 while running well around town.
