I have recently bought an 86 and the previous owner was building a 351 for it. He hasnt finished the build but gave me everything he had, i was just wondering what you guys think i will see in hp.

This is what came with the car:

Stock 351w roller bottom end
Procomp 60 cc chamber with 210cc intake runners ( i know they arent the best)
1.6 rockers
x303 cam ( im sure he could have chose a better one)
EFI spyder intake with elbow and rails
30lb. injectors
80mm throttle body

Would appreciate the input, i may sell and change parts to better suit my needs.

I'd guess somewhere in the low 300's. Doesn't exactly sound like the most thought out combo.
Before you assemble it, take those heads to the machine shop, and consider trading and or selling some of the stuff for some more fitting parts to squeeze some more power out of it.
 
the ford "letter" cams suck compared to what is out today, also putting on procomp heads is like replaceing your heart with something made by "little tikes". by the time they are machined correctly and have all the "good parts" you will have reached the cost of a set of "good" heads. for camshaft selection, check out Anderson motorosports.
