I put the link in my post so you could see it, as far as the carb, holley has so many differant numbers now I couldn't tell you the exact number, but look for a 750 cfm dual line with vacuum secondaries, holley sells factory rebrubished parts on ebay, that would be a good place to look. If I was building I would go with a Comp 268H cam, good street manners, no need for a stall converter, since your going with a 400 you might be able to get away with a 270H on the stock converter, but that would be pushing it, I think the 268H would probably be the better choice. the more cubic inches you go with the bigger the can you can run and still remain street able. if you go this route make sure you have headers and at least 2 1/2 inch exhaust, the 400 really do good when you open them up and let them breath.
