Ok so a few questions

Im just about done with my engine im only a distributor and a coil short. So with all the experience going around here i have a couple of questions heres what my engine has...
ive got
Bored .30
Pistons are Sealed Power Hypernectic Dished Pistons (suppose to be some kind of mustang application pistons with higher compression.)
Stage 2 RV Cam
Double Roller Chain
High Volume Oil Pump
D3VE-A2A heads cleaned with new valves, springs, and valve seats
Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold
Edelbrock 600cfm Electric Carb
MSD 6A ingnition Control Module
MSD Pro Billet Distributor
High-Vibration MSD Blaster Coil
and Hedman Hedders

I was wondering if anyone knows what Hp/Torque area i would be in the closest dyno to me is 300 miles away so its gonna cost a lot to drive there.

Also i wanted to know whats the pros and cons of a serpentine belt? when i bought the engine it was a complete engine with a serpentine setup so ill stick with this setup but was wondering basically what is the difference?

Reverse running water pump on any i'v had. Belt easy to change. Drawback is you should keep a spare belt with you and tool to change it if you make across country trips. Because if you break it , you are stranded as it runs everything.

Nice - from 351M to 460.
Welcome to the world of big blocks.

Stock Midlands are pretty much of a miserable smog-era boatanchor, & ya'll will never regret performing this swap

#1. There is no such thing as a Midland. They (being the 351m) were built in the same foundry as the Cleaveland blocks. #2 The 351m and the 400's have both great weight to power ratios and possible (just the 400) a greater weight to power ratio than a 460 with a timing chain set swap and a good rv cam.
