That would basically be an original engine build. The originals had right about 420-425HP and 480 foot-pounds. The Edelbrocks are slightly improved versions of the Ford mid-risers. The intake might be a little more efficient. If the cam is the original grind, a careful tune might get around 430HP and 480-500 torque.

A more aggressive cam would bring in more added horses than anything else. A modern distributor would add a little power and a lot of reliability.
