It's hard to say without seeing the reciepts. There is so much BS as far as what people claim. It would sound like it's producing about 350 or so hp, assuming he's got everything dialed in. Now the down side. If you have emissions, you probably would be screwed. What's far more important is the condition of the rest of the car. Engines are usually the cheapest part of a restoration. A $7000 engine doesn't do much in a $3000 car. It's one of those "that's nice. but...." kind of things.

I am thinking its somewhere between 320 and 350 horse..at the rear wheels, but this is so hard to guess without any info being there. The heads and cam sound good..shorty headers...not near as good as long tubers...
