Volunteering my build for a keyboard dyno session LOL. Just curious what the experienced forum members think my current build will output.

440 .030 over
L2355 pistons flattop 4v relief
Trickflow 240’s
SFT .534/.540 239/242 @ .050 112LSA
10.5:1 CR
6bbl with port matched Edelbrock intake
1-7/8 longtube headers

Thanks for any feedback.

Also my goal was a mildly aggressive streetcar going in my 69 RR backed by a 727 and 3.55’s. I plan on using A/C in the car. It’s the car my wife enjoys cruising in so I want it to be a great comfortable cruiser. Brakes are manual. Do you guys think my build will achieve its objective?

I think it will do what you want it to.Should cruise without bucking,spitting,or jerking and have plenty of torque so you won't "need" a high stall converter.
550-575 HP.
 
I am building nearly the same combo for a freinds wife's car. With the exception that it is a .030" over 440 with a 4.50" stroke crank. 10.5-1, 6 pac, headers, TF 240's hyd roller 235/241 .564/.572 on 112 lca. Going a V code 70 Challenger with 727, 3.54 Dana.

I'm sort of on the same page.
Same pistons
SFT cam 264/[email protected] .578,.584 ,107 LSA
Using some seriously modified iron heads (probably way worse than ootb 240's) and my measured CR is 11.17:1.
I know all would be better with aluminum heads, but I already own the iron ones, and that gives me room to improve. I was hoping to get 550. You will probably be at that and have a better driving engine.

Except it’s 100 inches bigger
 
Except it’s 100 inches bigger
Come on, it's only 92 inches bigger. Had a repaired 4.50" Molnar crank and set of 7.100 Molnar rods. Bought a set of Mahle pistons, pins, rings that fit that stroke and rod length for a good price. A guy gave me a motorhome block, Won a ATI damper in contingency from racing. Somewhere along the line ended up with a timing chain cover and a set of main studs. So it was time to pay back a friend. He donated the short block for my racecar 14 years ago. So now I'm donating parts and labor.

Because the numbers can vary greatly between dyno services, I’ll stipulate that my guess is what I’d expect to see here………

I’m in that 550-575hp range.
 
I think the heads flow more than the 6-pack intake which might limit the power?
Cam is a bit on the mild side, but should make a great street engine!
 
Optimal would be 620. Deduct 25hp from the 6 pack intake.
