Default building a 347

I just bought a '91 302 block from a buddy at a very good price. After it gets milled and bored and all the first step process stuff, I plan on building it over the next few years as money and time allow. I plan on using, per his suggestions, forged pistons, crank and connecting rods. Other than that It will be carbed. I'm not too sure what else I'll do especially with heads, either GT40 or trick flow, and a cam as well. Oh, forgot to mention that I think I'll go with a 347 stroker. Any idea of HP and torque potential with the 347 with the above listed items?

ur gonna have a good amount of power. i know the ford racing 347 made 450 hp and 400 lbs/ft of torque (overhailin' last night). the best thing about all forged internals is you can either add an sc or juice it and it wont hurt a thing (as long as u do it the right way).
