Not really sure. How much do you have in it? I know you probably won't get that out of it but it's a good place to start.

depends on what CC the heads you have on there, but you could pick up some vortec heads cheap <600 but they have 64 CC chambers so it depends how your compression would sit afterwords

there are tons of better flowing aftermarket head for a lot more money though

If you are looking to sell it, why would you put different heads on it. Are you looking to drop it in something if you can put down better numbers?

Depends on what "cheap" is to you I guess. A set of budget vortec heads would really wake that motor up and push you well past 400hp.....BUT---Most of the 400 heads had 76cc chambers IIRC. If you're already at 10.5:1 static compression with them, your compression would shoot into race gas territory with vortec heads since they're 64cc. Define "cheap" and you'll get some suggestions on what you can afford.

Agreed that the heads are going to the major limiting factor on HP production on that motor. Also what exact intake and carb are you running?
