what carburetor, what intake, what are the cam specs, do you have headers, too many unknows and variables to tell you other than you have more than the gross rate of 300 if the engine is in good condition.

What horsepower that engine is "capable" of producing is probably in the area of 325-335. But, what it actually produces is 'unknown and unknowable' unless you put it on an accurate dyno. And, depending on the specific dyno you use, it could read way too high or be reasonably accurate. The dyno operators that want to make money "adjust" their results to read favorably. They want you to tell your friends about the "great numbers you got when you tested at xxxxxxxx."
