Thanks! Keep the suggestions coming, please! Key issues=durability, reliability, high RPM's.

if I read your original post correctly you have a 302 ci motor (5.0 liter). what modifications are you envisioning to get that 400 HP @ the flywheel? Knowing that might help us point out what engine coatings would be most beneficial. The simple route would be a 331 stroker & quality aluminum heads like AFR 165's or 185's, (or whatever brand you prefer). Nothing wrong with a forged crankshaft either, but I don't think you need one with a 6,500 rpm redline.
