Spend the rest of your money on head work. Something has to be done with the rods? I sure someone can tell you what.
not as straight forward as that think you have deck the block aswell to get compression right and narrow small ends i think,
If you've only got 400 to spend your best bet is ebay, second hand ported head, 4 branch +exhaust, K&N and rejet standard carb.
It'll make about 125 if your engine is in good nick to start with
