You can do the following and should easily break 400rwhp:

4.0L stroker kit $3-5k
Bare short block (reuse your own)
Jun 282 cams (not sure on price $800?)
Built heads $2-3k
Custom intake manifold $2-3k
Stillen G3 intake $450
Z1headers $800
Test pipes $300
3" exhaust $1200
Lightened flywheel/clutch combo $1000
Fuel system to support the power $1000

Total cost $15k-$20k with labor

Note: you can run dry sump and gain a significant amount of HP but you will be paying north of $12k for it...

Also, this is the first I've seen of a build like such. The only 4.0 stroker kit I can find is (surprise) from GTM and for the r35 engine. Not being a mechanic by trade I can only assume that there would be technical difficulty and extra cost associated with this install.

Not only this, but he fails to mention how I'll deal with our oil heating problems. No disrespect to the original author, but is this an exaggeration? If I was already paying for a rebuild I wouldn't be hurt to put an extra $10k in to get to 400RWHP.
