Brainstorming Ideas for 400-450 hp 360 Build

Step one...... come up with a budget.
For everthing associated with the motor.
IGN, carb, headers, cooling, etc.

Deduct those essentials from the budget, what you have left is for the long block........ and how much that is will usually dictate how the build will go.

It’s not hard at all to make over 400hp from a pump gas 360.

That being said, “if” the proposed build includes forged pistons and aftermarket rods...... you’re only the price of a stroker crank away from a 408.
