Well i have a difference of opinion on my other thread so I'll just check your guy's numbers since y'all seem knowledgable on the subject. 
(all these would be stock)
2.8 = XXX CI XXX HP ???
3.1 = XXX CI XXX HP ???
3.8 = XXX CI XXX HP ???
283 = 283 CI XXX HP ???
350 = 350 CI XXX HP ???

As far as the liter to ci is concerned here are the numbers
2.8L = 170.87 c.i.
3.1L = 189.17 c.i.
3.8L = 231.89 c.i.
The horsepower for each is going to vary depending on the option and vehicle it was placed in. The 350s in the early days ranged from 185 to 360 horsepower. If you want to know the horsepower for a given engine you will need to know what year, make and model it came from for the factory ratings. As far as how much horsepower you can get from one by modifing it, depends on how much you want to spend and how often you want to rebuild it. ie. Top Fuel 500 ci motor @ 6000 horsepower, rebuilt after every 1/4 mile.
