Stock heads are what will be hurting you. If I had to say though I would guesstimate somewhere in the 260-280HP range.

347 kit, custom cam, aftermarket set of heads (Canfield, TFS, RHS, AFR) 185cc+ models........ better driveability and performance (ET's) than the alternative you're looking at. My

listen to joel, i wish i would have done that now, i could have had 30-40 more rwhp just from 16 more cubes, larger heads, and a slightly better cam to match everything.

Go 347 it's vertualy the same cost as the 331, and don't forget to upgrade the valve springs and retainers for the cam.
