How much torque and horse power will I probably have? I have a 1972 4 bolt main 350 chevy, with 69-71 "double hump" 186 heads (the 1.94 valve not they 2 by 2's) with a summit 274 deg. cam @.050, dunno how much lift it has, flat top pistons, shorty headers, an edlebrock performer intake, using the stock quadrabog carb, havent done any porting or anything, the block is in great shape never been opened untill about 2 months ago (sat in my dads shop since like 1980) havent done any ignition upgrades has a HEI setup on it, I am putting it in my 78 z28 camaro, I know I havent givin much info on my parts combo so try to "wing it" thanks, and is there any thing you would recramend changing?

I am not too sure what to say, except you have bold ambitions
If you have some values to those parts , volume, torque, rod length, etc you can calculate a maximum hp and torque
here is a link to one such calculator

there are others, I used them when I took ICE in college
I like the simplicity of carburetor engines but I would rather have the performance and efficiency of a throttle body.
Good luck, It sounds like FUN

Worth the time and money to take it to a speed shop and put it on their dyno. They can help you dial in the motor and look for any weakness.
