~375 at the crank maybe? more info on the heads would be helpful but guessing doesn't really mean much. results are what matter

Assuming they are stock smogger heads with 1.94x1.50 valves my guess is 330-350ish. What is the casting numbers on the heads?

You're being quite generous. The zz4 with the L98 heads and roller cam is only 355hp. I was gonna say about 275 to 300.

the head castings are 882

with the 882 heads you are pretty much limited. I think you would be lucky if you were making 300hp. you have to remember that the heads you are using where used on 350 motors that where making 160hp. to double the hp that those heads were originally intended on making would seriously be doing something. I can't find the exact numbers but i dont think those heads where flowing more than around 180cfm @ .500" lift.

if you were willing to spend around 800.00 for a set of aftermarket vortec heads like the RHS pro torkers, I think your hp would go from around 280-300 up to around 350-360hp
