Given the relatively low compression and Mod'S" cams I would put the performance at around 260 crank hp @ around 6500RPM. The general number for loss from crank to wheel for these cars seems to be around 15%.
The difference between MFI, Webers and more modern systems is a discussion for a thread of it's own.
As for mileage: Considering this engine will run 46 Webers, fuel efficiency might be measured in yardage rather than mileage.
