Re: HP/Torque guess on this 400 build?

I'll try to fill you in. I want a street truck. Pump Gas, no slicks, that kind of thing. Driveable. I'd like 350ish HP. I also want to build a lower RPM torque motor, for the street I would rather not have to rev past 5500 to make the full power. The truck itself is a short bed 64 GMC, should only weigh 3600 lbs with me in it, so it's not TOO heavy. My budget will probably grow once I get into the thing, but I'd like to spend just around $1200 for parts. If there are gains to be had for more money, I can do that. I'm not an engine builder, so basically what I'm looking for is a 350-400 HP small block 400 template. Thanks!
