I think it has a 364 in it.
measure the distant between the two front bolts in the intake and then compare it too the measurements at the bottom of this page:

Are these engine reliable?
usually, the Nailhead guys say these engines are much more structurally sound than the later, more famous big block Buicks.
and then there were the Massachusetts drag racers who spun a 322ci to 10,000rpm....
Can they produce lots of horsepower?
normally they are considered rev limited due to the small valves and constrictive heads. no revs means little hp, there's no way around that. they've always been notorious for torque though, and that's really what you want on the street.
this is applied to the 401 / 425 though, which are by far the most popular Nailheads.
would a 364 be closer in rev limitation to a 401 or a 322? i have no idea. if you could get the 364 to pull to even 7,000 you should be able to dyno a decent hp number.
