Here is the story.

My father in law got a 1986 Corvette, the guy he got it from said it has work done to it and claims it has around 480 h.p. *Just to clarify I am NOT the mechanic in the family, I get all my answers from my dad or brother but they cant be bothered because my father in law doesnt listen anyway! I basically want to know for myself and because he was contemplating parting it out. One more thing, I have a broken leg and cant do this, I am trying to explain to my wife where to find the part #'s on the block and heads.

With all the accessories on the engine she cant see much. Can you guys see your part #'s(block/heads) when you pop the hood? Basically can I find out what I want before pulling the engine?
Aside from the evidence of the throttle body having traces of silicone, everything else looks stock, intake manifold, exhaust.
Can a stock TPI set up support that kind of HP?
If you ask me its stock but I am not an expert(by far)

Any HELPFUL info is appreciated.
