72302; Welcome aboard; I'm no expert on engine; I recommend posting your question under the engine forum; there's a large range of folks there that are small block fanatic's. I have a 76 model install in my 65 truck; I posted all the engine data in my gallery pic's; my mechanic stated I was running about 375 hp at block; I would beleive 325 hp at block to be more realistic.

That 2 barrel is hurting ya for sure. Im no expert, but for a 60 over 302, fresh bottom end, fresh stock heads im guessing, and headers, with 2 barrel carb, in the neighborhood of 250-300ish. The 4 barrel should wake it up for you a bit, say 50 hp or so.

I had a 302 in my '80 Versailles, if I remember right, the hp was more in the 200 range. But my buddies Boss 302 was in the 300+ range, give or take a few.
