That's what I was thinking. I just found an amazing deal on rebuilt vortec heads, an intake, and a 750CFM Holley. that I'm picking up tomorrow. That should take care of the heads.

That's a good plan, I'll definitely test it when I get the chance.

I am not opposed to making it a 383, but what other options do I have for 400hp, taking into account the new heads and carb? Would a used turbo be a reasonable option if I did my own fabrication?
