What if Spain didn't pursue Autarky from 1939-59?

How much wealthier could Spain get to be? By 2008 could they be approaching Northern Europe levels of wealth? If they were wealthier, might they build a mightier military or even nukes? Make a more serious push to regain Great Power status or hold onto African territories? Become as influential in the EU (provided it isn't butterflied away) as Italy, or even France?

I don´t think, that Spain has a chance, to become a nuclear power.

According to this, Franco planned to get nuclear weapons : http://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2008/01/27/cia-reveals-franco-nuclear-plans/

He did pursued a nuclear energy program nevertheless :
