Any one have any ideas on how much HP my beater has in it?

I have a 1949 Ford F1, just curious what it might be pushing as far as HP. It has a 390 big block ford (i know i know), rebuilt engine 100 miles ago (not 100 percent sure of what parts were used, which would make this an easier question) I know it has alum dish pistons speed pro, and a crane cam with I THINK he said a 505 lift?? If not its something close to that. It does have the factory heads that have been ported and polished, stock bore motor factory intake (you got me) with a holly double pumper that is new. I know this is a guessing game, but i know nothing about Ford engines just curious on some thoughts. The guy I got it from said it has over 400 but I dont have any clues. Thanks in advance!!

nice!! I was way off!!! I was thinking I dunno like 280 stock back then haha. But i was thinking 385- 400 hp as well. This truck cant weight more than 1450 lbs, so it feels like it has 800hp haha

The headers probably help that big old Ford more thaan anything else. Those big old things haave to be able to breathe.

breathe this big daddy will. I love sound just as much as the next guy but WOW. I drove this thing back from north of hamilton and WOW. when I got home if felt like my face was going to explode!!! maybe its age getting to me I dunno
