Post building up a 400 modified

I am interested in building up a 400 modified motor. I read an article here once before and I cannot find it again. Can anyone give me some ideas, to kick up horse power and still maintain good milage? Thanks in advance...

Read a pretty complete article at Off-road.com yesterday on this issue. Go to the Ford section and do a search for 400 Cleveland. Good luck.

You are probably refering to the article in Hot Rod Magazine. I don't remember the date. Go to the 351c,351M, 400 forum on this website. It seems that alot of people have done this buildup including myself. Got 378hp and 451ft/lb of torque. You can find the article links from that forum. Dan
