Default good or no

im new to the racing scene as i can say. i was into body dropped and air bagged pickups along with raised trucks. i now own an 87 mustang. i have not taken apart the engine to see what exactly was done to it. all i know is it has canton roller rockers, flowmaster exaust system, they also changed it from injected to carbed. It also has 4.88 gears in the back. thats all i know as of now. what kind of hp do you think that is holding. should i biuld up this motor or invest in a 351 and work on that in my home until i ahve it completely rebuilt and bored out. and ready to my specifications. what do you guys on here think.
