No.  Assuming the '71 pushbutton is equipped with a closed chamber 4V
engine with square bore cast iron intake, they were rated at 300 HP
gross.  When accessories and exhaust system are installed, you'll
get less "net" HP.  The '71 Boss 351 was rated at 330 HP and was
approximately 400 HP gross and 330 HP net.  Still, your engine has
no where near 480 HP at the crank, even after figuring in losses for
the transaxle.
