The sayin is actually "Theres no replacement for displacement" but I'll let it slide. I actually prefer the 350 over bigger motors the parts are cheap its easy to work on and it can really lay down the law when it comes to sheer power. I'd get a machine shop to clean up the block hone it and bore it .30 over and turn it into a 383 stroker. You get lots of torque and plenty of expandibility. And you scavenge the 400 parts you need (crank,rods,harmonic balancer,flywheel, and anything else I forgot) of your 400 with bad rings. And since you can scavenge a good majority of your parts you can look into better parts for the stuff you dont have. The best thing about the stroker is the fact you get alot of power in a smaller lighter package, and you dont have to worry about parts compatibility due to it still being a small block, thats my thought anyway best of luck to you on your maiden voyage. if still choose to go with 400 I really dont know what to do to strenghten it I really havent worked on them much just stolen parts off them.
