Hey I'm building a new motor for my car, i was wandering if anyone is good at estimating horsepower out of modifications, and if they could take a guess at what mine might be after Im done with it? Well Its a 302 bored over .030 with 165 AFR heads, edelbrock RPM performer intake, 650 duel feed holley 4bbl carb, KB flat top pistons with 2 valve releifs, comp cam 1.7 ratio aluminum roller rocker arms, F303 camshaft, carter high volume fuel pump, miloden windage tray, petronix electronic ignition with flamethrower coil. The lift of the cam with the 1.7 rockers is .544 and durtion is 226/226. LSA 109.

Drivetrain: B&M Torque Master 3000 (3200 rpm stall converter)
C4 Automatic 3 speed transmission with B&M rip shift kit
9" rear with 3:55 gears w/ possi traction

This is being dropped into my 1970 mustang with NO emmissions. Please leave any suggestions or what you think of the setup! All these parts are alreeady bought and the motor is being assembled at the moment. thanks guys.

I remember seeing this. He might've posted first in talk, then in talk to see if he could get more opinions. I know I've done that before.
