Default Thinking about a sleeper...

I'm pondering building a stock-looking engine that makes good power but starts and drives well. Assuming a good 455 short block, what would be a reasonably power goal with iron heads, intake and stock manifolds? I have a good running Q Jet and won a 1972 intake on eBay for $9.99. I'm thinking ported 6X-8 heads, ported intake and whatever cam ends up being correct. I'm also thinking the manifolds would hold me back?
