302 / 400 hp easy to attaine
It has been stated over and over again that it is really very easy to get 400hp out of a 302. Take a look at some of these articles:

My 302 is about 410hp.
When you think that in the 60s, the legendary big block 426 hemi was rated at 425 HP, and the big block Chevy LS6 454 was rated at 450hp. These were the best of the best at that time! It is mind boggling to see what intake manifold, cam, valvetrain, and head technology has done for us allowing 400hp out of a 302, . . . simple and easy to do, but mind boggling when you think of it in relative terms!
