There are a couple of software programs that you can use to figure out
pretty close to what your hp rating is. The Engine Master challenge
besides
the real deal has a virtual engine master challenge.

They use Dyno Sim Racing software. I purchased it a couple of years ago
and
it was amazingly accurate. I entered in the values from some of the Hot
Rodding mag's engine builds that they had dyno info on and the results
were
within 5 hp for a 450 hp engine!
Lots of fun to use but there is lots of data to put in: size of valves,
compression, cid, head flow, cam specs: lift, roller, flat, hydraulic,
bore
n stroke, intake manifold, carb, exhaust manifold style, mufflers, etc..
It was real good at predicting if all the components would work together.
It
sounds like your setup does work together. You only have enough info for a
wild guess at what the actual hp could be.
You're probably getting close to 1 hp per cubic inch. I would guess around
375 to 400 hp but I'm pretty sure that if you put it on a dyno that you
would find that there's an extra 25 to 50 hp up in the 6500 - 7000 rpm
range if you're valvetrain can take it.
