A new crankshaft, pistons, rods. You need a crank from a 400 with a 3.75" stroke ground down to fit your block. You then decide what length rods you want, and what kind of pistons.

Try a scat 9000 crank. A better way to do this is to get a whole balanced rotating assembly. I've seen them go four around 500-600 dollars. The include new rods, new pistons, the new crankshaft, new bearings, new rings etc... Look on ebay. Good place to start.
