OK, the engine was not tested on a chassis dynometer. 350 flywheel HP

(hopefully a more knowledgeable owner will chime in on resleeving of all eight cylinders, but for a standard production, cast iron block I have never heard of more than two or three cylinders being re-sleeved)

with that established, I also would be a bit disappointed with just 350 HP. That isn’t a bad result, but for a fresh engine build it is far from what should be easily obtainable

For a rough comparison, I recently built a 9.2 compression 404 stroker Cleveland with no custom parts other than the bullet cam shaft and a Bob Oliver blueprinted Holley 670 Avenger, and pulled 454 flywheel HP at 5700rpm

applying a ZF frictional loss of 20% from the 350, which is in line with what I’ve been hearing for the last 20 years, you will show only about 280 RWHP.
