I wonder with todays advanced abilities, if one fully ported one of these with todays advanced piston shape knowledge, how many HP one could squeeze out of one of these in streetable mode?

More Ford-flathead conversions.
I was at this museum approx. 13 years ago, it is easier to get to now , so I have to go back for another visit.

A sophisticated gear drive system would morph into belt-driven camshafts in later versions of the Davies OHV conversions. Those valve covers would look right at home on the Indianapolis 500 speedway and doesn't look dated next to that Aurora IRL engine in the photo on the right!
Possibly one of the rarest OHV conversions is the Stephens. There are only 3-4 sets known to exist, and looking at the second photo, it's easy to see where Mopar might have gotten the idea for the Hemi engine.

From Peugeot.
They are speaking of the push rod/rocker arm set-up which is a world apart from the Peugeot.

Peugeot 403 engine
Well as the pushrods are in the middle of the V-8 cylinder head with two rocker shafts, Yes.
