Most of what you listed has nothing to do with the hp output but I'd say 410-415 or so. That depends on the quality of the port and polish.

That carb won't see it's full potential on that engine,but it will work.Was the block deck milled at all,or were the heads milled?

70olds455

I dont think the block deck or heads were milled. So you think a 750 carb would be better for this engine. This is my dads engine he has in his 1987 cutlass supreme.

OK,you have about 9:5:1 - 9:75:1 for compression. A 750 carb would be better for that engine.
