Title: What kind of hp am I gonna end up with?
Post by: Abney618 on July 14, 2012, 07:36:56 pm

I have a 78 with a 4 bolt, bored .30, an edelbrock performer intake and the cam that they recommend with it, new summit cast iron 2.02 heads and a new 4 barrel 600 cfm carb.  Im not looking for huge numbers but driveability.  Just curious if anyone might give me a ballpark hp rating.  Thanks.

Welcome since this is your first post.  Too many unknowns to venture a guess, sorry.

I would guess 300 hp as well at the crank.
