Help me find the umph in my 360

Might not be bent though. You'll need to remove the rockers and put air in the cylinders and see where the air exits. Through the exhaust a bent exhaust valve. Up through the carburetor, bent intake valve. Into the crankcase hole in piston or broken rings. Easy to diagnose. You might have gotten lucky and the hydraulic plunger in the lifters could have taken up the slack.
I do have a leak down tester I'm about to check with that.
