347 power estimates

I've always enjoyed the posts listing the engine builds along with comments , suggestions and power estimates. I thought I would throw mine into the hopper to see what everybody thought.

65 mustang convertible
347- Eagle crankshaft-3.400 stroke
4.040 bore
JE pistons
Holley 750 vac. adv.
Bennett custom cam- hydraulic roller-Harland sharp roller rockers-1.6 ratio
lift- .536 intake .544 exhaust
duration@.050-224 intake 230 exhaust
Edelbrock performer heads
heads opened for larger valves-1.60 / 2.02
performance 3 angle seats, backcut valves
performer rpm intake
3/8'' fuel line-Carter high volume fuel pump 8psi
melling high volume oil pump-120gph
MSD distributor
C-4 trans with 2600 stall
3.25 8'' rear with traction lock
The headers and exhaust are from the original 289 and would like to upgrade. Standard tri-ys with 2 1/4" meineke exhaust
along with Dynomax turbo mufflers. It's a little tight underneath because it's a convertible so I'm not sure how big I can go with a mandrel exhaust. I've been looking at JBA tri ys along with Doug's, Accufab and Ford Powertrain however I am certainly open and would appreciate any suggestions. By the way, it's mainly for the street.

Thanks dfree383. The heads were ported and the intake was massaged somewhat. Compression is more like 9.5:1

Looks like between 350 and 400 HP. I wasn't sure of a couple values (electric fuel pump, lobe seperation, spacer height).

347Vert, I got 415hp/440 tq from a 347 with a 224/224 @ .50 and a .532/.532 lift. My cast iron heads are ported at 225/185cfm. I believe the Performer RPM heads flow at 215/171cfm. Your cam is a little bigger than mine so you should be right around the same power range.

fuel pump is mechanical and the lobe separation is 110.0. My exhaust system is restrictive so I'm sure there is a loss of power there. Problem is finding a mandrel system that will fit under the convertible. Anybody know of any custom exhaust shops in northern New Jersey.
