"New" engine, many questions.

Just because it has the standard firing order doesn't mean a whole lot. You said it had been rebuilt, maybe it has a after market cam. You will not know unless you check valve lift or until you start it. I wouldn't expect it to be a big cam cause it had the stock intake and carb. On a carbed 302, depending on the cam and heads you could expect anywhere from 150 to around 200 hp. If you put a mild cam in it and a better intake & carb, good exhaust, and ignition, you might get 250 - 275ish hp.
