Guesstimate of power for this setup?

[Guest bastaad525]

Hey guys, quick Q. I'm really interested in buying the car listed here:

I've seen SBC 350's get anything from 200RWHP on up the ranks to 4's 5's and 6's... I asked Kenny who's selling that car what his estimate was for his car and he said about 300hp, though I didn't ask if this was RWHP or crank hp. With the details he gives what do you think is a good guesstimate of his cars power? 300 sound about right? and is that RW or crank hp? And what kind of 1/4 mile times would it get (ballpark figure, 13's? 14's?) if that power estimate is right?

Hay Bastaad525, The estimate I gave you was at the crank. I hope this will help the rest of the guys to determine if this is correct.

Don't get me wrong Kenny it's not that I doubt you!!! If anything that estimate sounded kinda conservative to me that's why I'm asking on here. I'm sure someone would have a similiar setup to yours and would be able to give a good guess.

It is kind of hard to tell not knowing the specs of the camshaft. Assuming the heads are stock and all else given, 300 crank HP is very easy to get out of a 350. It should be good for high 13's.

I agree with Greimann--if the heads are largely stock and it has a mile performance camshaft, 300 hp is about there. Everything else is gravy.

 

His car is really sweet looking and the price is fair since he is will to negtiate some. I asked him to send pics and he promptly did so---very nice package indeed; I liked what I saw. No rust visible!!!!!! A quality conversion for sure.
