HP?
 
I recently purchased a 65' stang with a 351w from a 70' and was wondering about how much horsepower i had, it has a holley intake with a holley 750cfm carb. and hooker headers with flowmaster exhaust.running a stock c4 tranny.

You have a healthy small block, but with thoes go fast goodies I would say the power could varry quite a bit depending on heads and cam. Bare minimum I would guess at about 250. If rebuilt well, could be 350 real easy.

yeah its probly has about 230 to 280, if that car has 4 lugs you might want to check the vin because 4 lugs=6 cyl

Like les1 said, 4 lug was a 6 cylinder. That is some serious engine for a 6 cylinder chassis. I would think of upgrading to 5 lug with a 9inch rear and diffinetly bigger brakes. Disks up fornt for sure. It is a lot of fun to make it go fast but for every go fast goodie you need a stop fast goodie as well. Have fun and enjoy it though. My .02
