Default 351c help

First off my name is Mike and I'm a newbie. I recently purchased a 1997 CR with a 351c installed. The only build info included was one sheet with hand written notes. Here they are:

Ground crank r.010/m.010, bronze valve guides, milled deck, bore cylinder, milled heads, engine balanced, erson cam high flow, perf pistons, main bearing set, plasma ceramic rings, new push rods 5/16, roller rockers, new intake/exhaust valves, balancer, cam bearing set, rod bearing set, balanced assembly. Says engine is a 1970 but I've been unable to confirm, can't see the casting numbers.

There's no more info that this, I checked the heads and they are cast with a 4. They engine runs fine and based on this limited info are there any educated guesses on the HP? I would like a dragster type idle and cobra valve covers but they seem hard to find. I'm thinking of going Windsor 427 so it sort of matches what should be in there or do you think I should re-cam this engine and just go with ford racing covers. Would a Windsor bolt right up to existing mounts? Thx
