I decided on building the 400 (434 ?) instead of swapping in a 460. My question is what should my build (and $$) priorites be in selection parts? To put it another way, what is the most bang for buck components or procedures? I am leaning towards the CHI 2v heads and the TMI stroker kit, but where to go from there? Cam, headers, etc? Which will make the MOST power?

Thanks in advance!

 

If you are going with Tim's 434 stroker kit, I think he would be the guy to get the recommendations from.

 

x2. And for a truck application (i.e. low RPM,high torque) I would consider going with Aussie iron heads and the pistons Tim has to go with them money better spent than spending it on the CHIs. Either way, Tim has ya covered.

 

The CHI 2V heads are all about flow at low lifts. They will outperform any iron heads in stock form at all rpm ranges. Add a roller cam with over 0.500 lift and get even more torque across the RPM range.
