350-400 HP is well within the reach of a 1.88 intake valve. Some of yall need to look up the definition of the word "budget". Jus sayin. Far as I'm concerned, crackedback is right on the money.
I agree the 1.88's rebuilt with some minor work will give you the HP and save you money.
My 360 combo is a 9:1 PAW short block with reworked 1.88 J-heads. 280H Comp Cam with Weiand Stealth manifold, 750 Eddy carb and Hooker headers. Runs great, pulls hard and lays rubber at will.
