Default DSS short block questions

i found this on the internet, and the guy is willing to deliver it
http://longisland.craigslist.org/pts/1400880666.html

Im confused because he says it is a DSS block, and that it is a 70 block... also he doesnt know the dish on the pistons.

My main question was how much hp are the DSS blocks/rotating assembly good for and am i going to have to cut valve reliefs in the pistons with that mild of a cam.

Plan is to build the motor similar to the S351 motors, but maybe with the TFS R intake and a paxton/procharger blower. IDK which heads yet.

any input appreciated.
thanks, N.A

well a DSS block is good for depending on it 1000 -1200hp but most older blocks you can get 700hp atleast out of.
