Powerplant

Hello guys I'm in search of some info on engine options/specs/ideas.
I've got a 72 highlander and would like to get 400 hp so I could cruise around town and turn some heads. I've got the original 350 small block from the truck in a barn ready for life! Could I get some specs on a good combo for a 350 355 383 stroker that will get me in the 400 hp range? This is my first build any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

383 stroker in an 880 (Vortec) block/heads and use the LT4 hot cam or something with similar specs; 215-220 duration at .050 and .500ish lift.
