Default 400 rwhp with a 306?

I am building my mustang and I was wondering if i could build a 306 to put out close to 400 rwhp all motor. What do u guys think? I was thinking about 331 stroker but I havent heard much about those motors yet. I dont want to go stroker in less I have too. I plan on using AFR 185s as my heads. Let me know what u guys think.

All motor, you'll definitely need to do more than a 306. I think you can probably get a 306 up to about 350 to the wheels, which would be well over 400 crank.

Correct me if I'm wrong people, I'm guessing...

anything is possible. but you will need to build it as a high rever.. reality is NA will cost more then a boosted app or a juiced app.

ive seen a post on another forum with a 700hp +-\a few 306 i dont exactly remember, i would think you could plan out a 400hp NAed 306 and build it for around 5000 including a purchase of a pms and other supporting items like fuel system and intake. I think 400hp is preety realistic for a 306 you just need to take your time and plan it out, go all forgde internals about 12 to 1 compression ratio Vic. jrs or 205 your choice and a custom cam then tune it with your pms youll see 400hp no problem.

It can easily happen. I have a D.S.S aluminum 306 with aluminum Trick Flow heads and a B31 Anderson Ford Motorsport cam in it plus many more mods and i am pushing out more then 400 horses N/A. It can easily be done but you need to put a lot of time and a LOT of money into it. Check out all of my mods --> http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/672744
