400hp 360

Sure. 400 hp is a great level for street driving and strip racing. Depending on what you're starting with for a core, and what you may have to use, there are a bunch of ways to get there. For good torque and mid range, I would run a flat tappet solid cam, instead of hydraulic, but you could run a hydraulic if you feel the need. Figure a typical mid 70s 360 truck engine core.. KB flat top pistons, stock rods with ARP bolts, stock crank turned and polished, internal balanced assembly, windage tray pkg, main studs. For heads, if you had the $$, Edelbrocks would be nice, but not a "must have". If not, then a good valve job, I'd run 2.02 intakes, bowl blend, gasket match, and mill the heads to get 9.8:1 compresion. a solid cam, say, 235ish @ .050 (i.e. Comp Magnum 282S or XE274S) and an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap. any headers you like, and a 750carb..and youre be well over 400. A calmer 400hp would be an XE274H hydraulic instead of pricier solid. What's the budget?
