1987 IROC with 265HP?

I know this probably isnt where i should post this thread, but i was wondering, theres this guy selling a 305 from an 87 IROC, he said it came with the MAF sensor option and a larger cam giving it 265. and the 350 with the MAF had 350HP
is he correct?

NO. Not even close. If it's a complete engine, it might be worth $200. At most.

In '87, the MAF sensor was NOT an option, it was standard for the TPI engines. Changing the cam can add HP, but the LB( isn't gonna gain 40 HP from a cam only. There must also be headers, 3" exhaust, an air foil added to the TB, and a custom chip, at least. And the '87 350 was about 225 HP, not 350 hp.
