to get 11's out of your car with the 400 motor i would suggest jsut looking for some good stock castings. on displacement alone the engine will make good power to get the car rolling and the rest of the job can be done with some basic chassis prep.
look around for a set of 882 castings. they are a big valve, big chamber head that will keep your compression pump gas friendly and still flow plenty to get teh job done.
look into a 274 or 284 extreme energy cam kit and a performer rpm/torker2/holley street dominator intake. drop a 750holley on top and you will have a combo that makes nice power, has a broad power band, a cool sounding idle, and certainly have enough to lay the smack down on any jackass ricer from school that gets bold.

just rememebr, most of an ET is in the chassis prep. for a goal like 11's on a street motor you need to think more about chassis and gearing than building a monster engine.
