best/cheapest motor build

i just picked a 327 4bolt main lt1/lt4 block with stock crank, rods, forged pistons and oil pan. its .40 over to make it a 357. i pretty much have the entire valvetrain covered with the cc305, hardened pushrods, GMPP 1.6 rrs, lifters, CC 918 springs.
i guess my question is what would be the best/cheapest way to build this motor and/or head work to 400rwhp na.

With LE2 heads it will be close to that with your cam and rr's maybe more IMO.

Also try AI they've dropped their prices on their stuff as well. You'll need to get rid of that cc305 if you want 400rwhp.

Re: best/cheapest motor build

Whenit comes to building engines best and cheapest don't go in the same sentence.

You would probably do good with a head and cam setup.

I hope you have headers, I didnt see them in your sig, cuz heads and cam are pointless w/out them. I think you can hit 400rwhp easily w/ the cc305, LE2, rr's and more bolt-ons. you can also probably get a custom grind cam if you want more power.

If so he'd be the first person i've ever seen on this board to hit 400rwhp with the cc305 and all other mods.
