Have you ever built an engine before? If not then you might consider starting smaller. Modding  a 350 block for a 400 crank can be a lot of tedious work especially if you've not done a rebuild before. That's not even taking into account the cost, it can be a lot more expensive than you might think. But if you've got the time, the money and most importantly the drive, I say go for it. Nothing feels better than accomplishing that kind of build. 
1980 Chevrolet C10 Silverado, 350 with 4 barrel carter quad recently rebuilt, new shocks, ball joints, bed rails,  steering gearbox, gauge cluster and mirrors. First build/love affair. I recently upgraded from a shadetree to a concrete driveway. Lol

I want to build something that better then  average  350 I don't mind spending the money and time? guess the real question is it worth it or is there a better choice?

What you think the low end cost would run?
