      My guess is about 380hp assuming 10:1, if 12.5:1 then about 415hp.

      Got a number, based on 10:1, small-tube headers, and no tuning...

      378@5500, 410 ft lbs @4000.

      I also ran it through Desk Top Dyno and got 397hp @ 5500 and 437 ft.lb. @ 4000. This is based on 10:1 compression and small headers. Looks like we've got some pretty good power estimators on here! Oh yeah, it seems to drop off real fast after 5500 RPM.

      I have full length headers if that helps you all out.

      Thanks for the info though. I wonder why there was a difference in numbers...different software???

      This sounds about right. Definitely under 400hp. I'd say this output is right on.

      Now get it on the dyno so we can see for realz! :D

      So do you all think that this set up with a march pully system included, a 110amp alternator and a p/s pump is worth my asking price of $2000? Motor has about 7000 miles on it.

      i'd say thats a fair price.

      should be around 375.. buddy has almost the same setup in his bu.

      a good price for drop in and go with 375hp..
