Forged piston with coated skirts. Reconditioned connecting rods. Should be 10.5- 10.75 CR. Pocket ported the stock iron 2.02 heads with the correct springs for the cam. Balanced rotating assembly, converted to comp cams retro roller with roller rocker arms. I'm guessing now, hoping to be in the 375-385 hp range. The dyno will tell me. This has been a very rewarding experience.

I'm looking forward to see your results. Based on your expectations I'm guessing you are talking about having it lab dynoed.
My 70 L-46 (350/350) is similar to yours with pocket ported heads and 10.4 CR. The original low rise cast iron intake manifold is some what of the "weak link", it just doesn't flow well at high RPM.
Mine made 341hp/387tq (Gross) and when installed in the car 245hp/305tq (RWHP).
