How much power does Joe Abbin's supercharged Flathead make, and with what parts?

Joe says the second engine, the one now in the car, made 335 horsepower and 365 foot-pounds on his engine dynamometer in Albuquerque, running on gasoline, and that it can be driven on the street. He says there is no exotic equipment in it: stock Mercury rods and a stock Mercury crank, prepped and inspected, and an Iskenderian cam.
