Question Engine mods?

I see a lot of you guys have engine combos in your signatures so who has the most hp for the dollar? I am looking a different combos for my 66' 5.0 efi conversion. I have a 5.0 out of a 93 t-bird as my base motor good block still std. What do I need to make 400 RWHP. I will use the stock bottom end and pistons from there give me some ideas on the rest of my budget combo.

Thanks!!

Mike

If you were going for a quick 400 rwhp combo, i'd get AFR 185cc heads, Edelbrock or Trickflow Intake, 70mm throttle body, 76mm MAF, 36lb injectors, full length headers with off road X pipe, underdrive pullies, 1.6 roller rockers and a custom cam. That should put you at or slightly above 400 rwhp.
