Ultimate daily-driver Gen II A Body to build

dont wanna start another pissing match but the 400hp goal is not an unrealistic request. it is much easier with a v8 engine and can be done extremely easily with vertually any v8 platform and still maintain its reliability and mild manors. a stroker small block is hard not to make 400 or more hp with. when you start getting into turbo's and boost you start to open the window for more variables and trouble down the road.
