There are lots of posts here with the performance information you are looking for. Watch your compression ratio with closed chamber heads and the availability of high octane fuel.
Check out the vendors here: FTE Sponsors
I have no idea if they ship internationally.
I know JC Whitney ships internationally. They list a 1-312-431-5615 number for voice information and a fax number 1-312-431-6095. Their website is www.jcw.com
Some others to check:

Help- 400 rebuild in germany
Hi,
i like to rebuild and hop up my 400 engine. now i need a really good dealer in usa to get all the parts that i need! i know only PAW and SUMMIT. but i think that`s not the best choice. PLEASE HELP!
the engine belong to a f100 with jaguar axles f/r, airride and a tremec t56- not for throwing and hauling- only for streetracing and fun- if you have some building tipps,...
thanx

Check the prices before you buy a bunch of parts. With shipping and machine work, you might be better off buying a 460 crate motor from Ford. Especially since you are shipping overseas. The 460 will be tougher and have a lot more potential than any 400 could ever have. The only drawback is swapping out all the accessories for the engine and possibly a little more weight. Otherwise Summit, Jegs and PAW are about as good as you can get here in the states. They are high volume and will usually price match anything they carry. They also have a good reputation for taking care of their customers.
If you need info on fuel injection try searching this site. There are some guys down in Australia that are doing some pretty impressive things with these engines. The parts they use might be a little more available in Germany than some of the American parts.
Good luck.
