Likely power level for this motor?

I found what seems like a nicely built 350.

It's a 4-bolt main 350, supposedly out of a 78 or so truck, but maybe not

it's got a fairly large cam in it, likely like a 112lsa at least, it's got a fair amount of lope.


it has '66 Vette Fuelie heads, a polished edelbrock intake, I think a performer RPM, a holley 650 carb, and in it's last car sounded nice w/ long tubes, and edelbrock mufflers. it also supposedly has 10:1 compression, as I know it really needs that premium fuel. I can't remember offhand anything else done, but it's a really clean looking motor.

honestly, likely what kinda power is it making, my old 12 sec grand prix put a whupping on it once in the past, but I know the owner had tuning issues, and is older, and I don't know if he was really tromping on it too much.

Nowhere near enough information there to give an honest guesstimate. Any more specs on that cam? 112lsa isnt that wild... mine is 110 and I wouldnt even call mine wild.
