Id guess between 270-290 at the wheels. Alot of people will tell you that a cam swap will help you alot..the Ford letter cams are old technology but they still work decent in my opinion. Sorry for rambling on

its ok im not swapping the cam because im building a 347 and going custom cam from jay allen....wow 270-290 sucks especially for all the work i did to it and $$ i put in...like my dad said if i did same work to a small block chevy i'd be making insane power...i think its time for a power adder theni would have figured i'd be in the mid 300 range easy..

You're making way more than 290RWH or whatever the last guy said
.

Nope I doubt he is at the rear wheels.. my friend has a mirror image of that set up in his carbed 68 cougar and only diff is it has an f-cam and it dyno'ed 268 rwhp and has run a best of 12.90 @106
