180 bhp should be no problem for a (new/rebuilt) standard bottom end with cast pistons as long as the fueling and the ignition works as it should. Spend some money on better bearings when you plan to rebuild it and an external oil cooler.

For 200 bhp and more you should start thinking about forged pistons.
