From what im told those 400s have crapy flowing heads, i have one and was gunna get it rebuilt but my engine machinst said i might as well wait because you can get a stroker crank for them and with some head work and the right cam 450-500 horse is pretty easy to get. i don't know a hole lot about it but it maybe some thing to look into depending on the motor current condition

What does the engien have to do for you? How much?

has to be reliable mainly...but i want long lasting parts that i can get lotsa miles on...im not concerned about HP, it will have that...i plan on using a 9.9:1 piston from Kb and after emailing back and forth with that piston and a 78cc head ill get that compression. Another option is using the same piston with 86cc = 9.6:1...want good strong street motor that i can drive on the highway when needed
