It depends on how high you are going to rev it. Have you put ARPs in it?
270 is only the duration, what's the lift etc? Is it still on hydraulics? I assume so?

not a chance with those mods will an xe on fast road cams make 213bhp. itbs and a sbd manifold they claim 208bhp and itbs are WAY better than 45mm carbs.
possys xe on dth bodies, headwork ive just done and ast1612 regrinds made 176bhp@wheels which is just under 200bhp@fly.
so based off that...and as the rolling road lad said yesterday its making good power. an xe on stock head, similar cams and 45s id say a genuine 175-185bhp. you may squeeze 200bhp on a ported head, decent ex mani and skimmed.
