And yes, your numbers are unreasonable for bolt ons. My Jimmy has a built 327 in it (large journal 4 bolt block, '69 large journal crank, bored .030) and it was in my camaro originally with all the mods. 10:1, double hump heads. It probably made 375 hp. 300 at the wheels. And it was NOT worn out. Needed more cam (see above Nova) and better heads.
For the numbers you want you might consider a off the shelf motor. By the time your do all the machine work and parts to rebuild yours you might be money ahead to buy a ready to go engine.
