I agree. Hard to say what exactly your engine needs, but if you have a complete 400 that needs a basic overbore and maybe the crank turned down, I can't see how you even get to 7k even upgrading to a roller cam and new rods and pistons.
It does add up quick and it all depends on what you can reuse and what your block, crank, and heads need. Take it to a good machine shop and find out exactly what you need.
