Nope no 200-300 hp rock stock,now with some performance mods mmmmmmmmmmaybe but you can do only so much to a 304 as their limited in the hi po mods catagory.

Scott - Good for you! I am putting a 360 out of a 77 Matador into a 
74 Gremlin. I think your HP will depend on your compression ratio, 
cam, carbeurator, etc. If you want to just drop in the 304 without 
reworking the engine, I think you can probably expect 200 - 300 HP, 
depending on if you keep A/C, PS, etc. I took mine apart and had it 
completely redone. I hope to get 350+ HP when finished. Good luck - 
it sounds like a wonderful find! -Lu-
