Default Stock Power Output of 66-69 427/425 or 427/435

Does anyone know how much RWHP a stock big block from back in the day put to the ground.

No but recently seen a 69 427/435 dynoed. It was stock specs, heads and induction with a hydraulic roller and dyno headers. Just over 500 HP and torque at the flywheel.

A couple of years ago, one of the magazines dyno tested a freshly rebuilt, stock to the letter 67 427-435 car and it made 287 hp to the tires. Again, that was bone stock through exhaust manifolds and the car had side exhaust.

How could it be "stock specs" with a hydraulic roller and headers?

It is a 1969 427/435 hp engine. factory compression ratio, unported factory head engine built to factory specs with a correct tripower with a hydraulic roller cam upgrade. Dyno headers were used on the dyno run. Was built for a forum member. I thought this was how I described it the first time through. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

am I wrong or the redline should be 6500rpm?
I'm interested because I was thinking to detune , in future , my L88 to L72 but 368hp are not exhactly amazing... I supposed the 427-435 was capable of at least 400hp...

Factory manifolds and stock side exhaust kill HP. I read somewhere, I think on this forum, they cost you 100 HP compared to headers and free flowing exhaust.
