Default what do you think this motor makes?

I just finished restoring my 67 camaro this winter and i built up a modest 350. I am just curious as to what everyone thinks the motor makes horsepower wise. its a new block with 10:1 compression,bored .040 over, 462 fuelie heads with a light polish on exhaust side, otherwise completely rebuilt, a 461 matching corvette intake, a edelbrock 600 performer carb, rhoads lifters, cam 480lift, mallory 6al multispark box with high performance electronic coil, and mallory magnetic pickup distibutor, hooker comp headers, and a true dual 2 1.2 in exhaust. im guessing low 300's maybe 320. if anyone has a guess let me know what you think.
i got another question, my old man got a high nickel 427 block with aluminum l88 heads and matching intake. what do you think that would be worth, not that he would ever sell it since hes had it since he was 20 something and now hes 50

I think that low 300s is just about right for power wise on that 350. I could not tell you what the 427 is worth, but i bought one about 2 years ago complete for 1,200 bucks. I thought it was a good deal, and then I did not use it for my project after all, I could not sell it, i finnaly took 500 bucks for it.

HP numbers are all guesses at best. never mind trying to figure out exact numbers, but those can be off by as much as 50HP, just from someone not being a good tuner.
