Re: horse power
I would guess 350 to 375hp. Just my guess.

Re: horse power
It depends a lot on the compression ratio. I'd guess that with the Gen 5 454 you're around 9.0:1 or less in C/R. If the exhaust is stock manifold duals, then I'd agree, probably not over 375 HP. If it's got the peanut port heads it'd probably be 350 HP or less, (which still isn't bad, but could be FAR better with a decent set of heads and a decent compression ratio).
BTW, good choice on the carb and manifold.

Re: horse power

Re: horse power
The 454 in my '94 'burb has a whopping 230 hp, and a massive, toothpick-pulling 385 lb-ft of torque from the factory. Its kinda sad, the 383 in my '69 C-20 has near 2.2 TIMES the hp...and gets twice the mpg...
