Its impossible to say or even ballpark since your changing so much. Depending on how agressive you go with heads, cam, intake and the rest of the boltons, a 39x cid motor might make anywhere from 450 - 550 RWHP. Less if its an auto with a high stall converter.

Alan knows what he is doing. I wouldn't second guess his recommendation without a lot more knowledge than I (or you) posess.
You could always contact other sponsors and see what they recommend.
You will need a better spring than 918's. One of the associated duals (such as PRC's) would be a cheap and recently popular choice. Or comp 921's...
