Hi guys,
A few days ago, the engine in my 65 Galaxie 500, which was supposed to be a 390 (turns out to be a 352), lost compression in cylinder 7. Deemed to be a ring problem, I've decided to pull the motor and give it a rebuild. Since the engine will be apart, and given access to parts will be restricted to the USA (car located in the Middle East), what would you guys recommend to be able to get 400 HP from this engine?
Would a cam, carb, intake pistons and headers be able to get it there? Or do I need to look at a stroker kit, too?
I'm trying to avoid a stroker kit because of the weight of a crank (shipping).
