Can 400HP get done on $3500? 
I've got a LOT more than that in my 383. Granted, it's a stroker with all new parts though.
I can see an easy $1K in machine work alone before working on the heads...
I don't see why not on a 383 cube build , most of the money will be spent on cylinder head work . A closed chamber head with about 78cc of volume with a flat top at zero deck and at the most 3cc reliefs would get the compression where it needs to be , though it won't get you 10.0 . Run a performer RPM with a good 750-800 cfm carb and a decent header.
fast68plymouth got 500 HP out of a 383 with unported 906's and an umder .500 lift cam.
