Ok guys....I'm nearly done.

In another 600 dollars and about 1 month, my car will be streetable again. Overshot the stock rebuild slightly, so I'm questioning how close I'll be to my final FWHP of 375. I'll riddle off my new additions....

351c bored .030 over
Speed Pro Hypo Pistons made to run at 9.5:1
Performer Intake
625 Road Demon or 780 DP Holley....both vac secondaries
Hooker Comp Headers 1 3/4
Dual 2.5'' with 40 series (No H-pipe yet)
Pertronix Ignitor II
Accel Coil
Manley Swirled/stainless/polished valves 2.055 intake/1.71 exhaust
3A valve job
All the head work including new hardened exhuast seats and such
270H Comp Cams Cam
Comp Cam springs matched to cam
Blue Racer Lifters
1.73 roller rockers (Forget brand)
Hardened Pushrods
Balanced Rotating assembly
All new bearings

Fresh FMX with Stage II B&M
2000 stall convertor
3.00 Open (Soon to be 3.55 w/ locker)

I had to spend a lot of money and I really want to know what kind of power I'll make. I've heard everything from 300 at the crank to 400. I really just want a realistic HP number and a decent estimate on what I should run in the 1/4 on some 26 inch tires. My goal was 375 FWHP and a high 13 second run.

Thanks guys, and sorry to bother you with more useless questions

Carlo

Also what kind of oil do you guys run when breaking in a new motor, and how often do you change the oil?
