283 small build need help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 65 c10 with a 283 engine. I found out today it has powerpack heads on it. Its been bored out .30 over ( a couple months ago). It has a 2bl carb on there now and a single exhuast. I was wondering what might the HP be now? Is there anyway to look for HC pistons or aftermarket cams? My plan is to throw a elderbrock 500 cfm 4 bl carb, elderbrock intake manifold and a set of headers. With all this done, what would my HP look like? Would she work pretty decent?
