Default HP estimates?

I'm not a chevy guy and never had anything powered by a chevy. I have an oppotunity to trade for a 260z with the following v8 swap. Im just wondering how much power this might be making.

350 block with 400 crank, bored .30 over....383.
Balanced
dished pistons (capable of running 87 octane)
World Racing heads with hydraulic roller rocker arms.
Holley 4 barrell, 762 carb.
Long tube headers.
Mallory distributer, fuel pump, coil
Edlebrock Victor 4 plus 4 intake
Lunati hydraulic cam and lifters, specs 535/540 lift and 395/305 duration.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

A lot of cam for such low compression (assuming compression is around 9:1). In a light 260Z, it may perform okay. I would say 400-425HP is a pretty good guess.

Default Pistons Dished?

How Far Are The Pistons Dished? Compression Ratio WIll Determine Power. N/A maybe 350-475, but a wide range again depending on compresion ratio.

Not too sure on the compression, all i know is he said it can use 87 octane, so it isnt too high. Id assume probably between 8-9:1

I made 335HP @ 4400RPM and 430TQ at 3500RPM on an engine dyno with a 360 CI SBC with a stock crank, stock rods, flat top pistons, stock valve train, stock heads with enough compression to need 91 octane. Edelbrock Performer intake and a 625CFM Barry Grant. I forget what the camshaft is but it is a mild comp cams hydraulic flat tappet grind. I would take off the timing cover to get the number off the cam, but my engine doesn't leak oil so I'm not going to mess with it. With a 383 that is .030" over, won't you be at 388CI or so? Either way you'll make more torque and horsepower than my engine.
