Hi everyone, I'm new here!  I recently aquired a 351c ,the block sat in a garage for 13 years in the corner where the roof was leaking a bit.
i had the block tested along with the heads,block was good heads were scrap,steam test revealed cracks
in the spring seats.
I sent the block off to get completey machined from a to z they bored 40 over with torque plated and installed brand new SRP forged pistons, replaced the 4 bolts main bolts with ARP along with the rod bolts.
With 64cc heads they caculated the compression to be 10.8.1.
What i would like to know is opinions on the overall hp and torque.

Well this is just an "educated guess" but i think you will be looking to see about 375hp and 395torque at the crank. take off 10-15% at the wheels.   again this is only a guess (but an educated one).  good luck.

Is there any truth to desktop dyno, a friend owns a speed shop and he ran all the head flw, cam specs  minus the lash,caculated gasket thickness and mesured my piston to deck,etc   
his desktop dyno gave out numbers like 512 hp and 486 torque, i was hoping it would be somewhere in that ball park.

well i have not had any luck with them but i do not know all the ins and outs of it. if your guy knows hhis shit i would feel pretty confident that his guess will be close.

The only real way to know is to get it installed in the car and take it to a real dyno shop.  You are most likely looking at around 400 HP though,  Not bad.
