351C Horsepower???

Hey everybody.... i was wondering if someone could give me an approximate horsepower or do a desktop dyno for me. Heres what it is.

Its a 70-74 351C
Bored .030
10.22:1 compression (forged) ( motor kit from summit)
performer rpm cam and rpm intake
ported and polished heads
headers

Im a 17 year old kid puttin this motor in a 68 Cougar...and im hoping that it brings around 350 horse?? I cant find anywhere else to find the horsepower on the net...so if someone could help me it would be much appreciated!! Thanks!

Does your motor have 2v or 4v heads? If they are 4v, 350hp shouldn't be difficult with that setup.

OK JayJay:
Your going to have to give me the cam number to figure it out . I tried looking it up but I can't find this set-up for the 351C .. only the 351W..

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Jun-02 AT 07:13 PM (EST)]they are 2 barrel heads.... i decided to go with something less radical... so im goin with a crane energizer cam CRN-133042. And just the edelbrock performer intake. This motor has a 2 barrel carb so im assuming its 2 barrel heads also right? Hopefully this motor still makes some horse..... once i get it bored out with new pistons, ported and polished heads, and headers???

If your target is 350 hp with 2v heads, I suggest you use a single plane intake, not a performer. I switched from a dual plane to a single plane and found not much loss of low rpm torque and significant higher rpm breathing ability (ie the rpms at which you'll need to rev to get 350hp), and I have completely stock 2v heads.
