This is what i had done on my 400. GOOD valve job, mild port work, milled .040" (iirc) , energizer cam, headers, edeljunk intake and carb. After that it was "bearable", however someone dosed it with some sand would be my guess and spun a main. Dropped in the diesel and havent looked back.
What did you do with that motor?
