Just rebuilt my 302 with 351 heads and elgin cam 959p int 448/270 ex 472/280 dur@50 204 int 214 ex. Has original holly 4160 4brl. Everything else stock. Installing it this weekend. Couple questions. Approx what will be my hp now with the cam and if more than 225, how much hp can I put to the outdrive? I still have the old block and heads and might want to built a 250-300 hp 302 for a spare. Its the need for speed thing. Appreciate and comments. Tx

That vintage of drive units gave good service with the 250hp 350cu.in. GM engines and had about 100% failure then they went to 260 HP
