Who can help with an Olds 350 head?

I’d suggest 1968-1969 #5 or 1970 #6 heads. You’re gonna need more than just a head swap to make 400 hp, though. I’d recommend a bit more compression, a respectable cam and valvetrain upgrade, a Performer RPM intake, a decent pair of headers, and a reworked Q-Jet. 400hp is achievable and if maintained and not over revved, should be stout and live quite a long time. You should be fine with a factory crank and rods (reconditioned) at that level.
