KB107 pistons, stock magnum heads (or the enginequest 318B's hughes has on their website for $699/pr assembled with springs good to .540" lift), stock magnum rockers, headers, eddie RPM air gap, 750-800cfm carb, headers, and a comp magnum 280H will make that much power
What he said...you'd probably exceed your 400 HP goal.
There are many hydraulic grinds out there that can get to your power goals and then some. Match one the the compression ratio, converter and gears and off ya go!
I'll add a couple of things about those Iron Ram heads. First, we have a pair of EQ's we're going to play with on the flow bench. (Although we got them "as cast" rather than prepped from Hughes). We popped in a 2.02 intake to compare with a pair of 2.02 RHS/Indy heads we were doing at the same time. Interesting to note, they showed slightly better flow than the RHS's below .550" lift.
The other cool thing, for a low dollar street/stripper are the Magnum rockers: Keeping a lid on lift (you can only go about .530 without trimming the guides anyway) and spring pressures the OEM 1.6 rockers will suffice well. Further, if you do want to increase lift on the cheap? V10 (truck) rockers are 1.7 and are a direct bolt on!
Keep us posted on what happens will ya?
