318 build suggestions?

Exjouster said
A friend of mine has a 318 short block .060 over, zero deck engine that we’re going to build. It’s going into my ‘67 Barracuda convertible, which will be running a 904 automatic and 3.91 gears with 28” tires. Couple of questions:
1. What’s a fair price for the short block?
2. What’s the best top end combination out there to make 400 horses with it? Thinking some aluminum heads, and would prefer a complete package (cam, lifters, roller rockers, etc).

These guys did it with iron Magnum heads. A good set of alloy heads and a decent cam with a 4 barrel of course will get you there. I would spend the extra and run a roller. But...........................no you are adding to the budget and it's not a cheap build any more. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/mopp-0409-318-engine-build/
