Your quest is too generic. Is it a 2bbl? 4bbl? Does it have a cam? Does it have headers, other HI-po goodies? Out of the box I would guestimate the engine is probably around 200- 240 HP (with ford racing valve covers).

I'm sorry, but slapping a set of Ford Racing valve covers onto an otherwise slightly modified SBF does not make it equal a new FR crate motor.
To the original OP, it appears that you have an aftermarket intake manifold and 4V carbuerator. Without knowing anything else for certain, assume your rear wheel HP is well under 200.

Yeah, best I remember a 302 with a four V carburetor was rated around 225 at the flywheel, and more than likely around 170 or so at the rear wheels.
