That's going to depend on how you finish it off with intake, and headers, etc. But I rather doubt anything near that power and torque level. Especially if compression is down that low and those are stock unported heads. Think more like 350/400 (at the crank . . . maybe). I've seen this happen in person at dynos. Guys with good ole big blocks in street cars (not like Ron's Chevelle), finished off rather nicely, get a little disheartened when they discover their power to the wheels is in the low 300s at best.
Now let's see what the guys who know what they're talking about say. :)
