It would have to be a 70 or later if it is a 402.The factory started boring 396s to 402 in 1970 when the 400 small block came out.They did not want a bb with less cubic inchs than the largest smallblock.I would also agree that you would come out ahead if you remove all the brakets and sell separate from the motor unless you come across someone wanting to convert a chevelle,camaro,etc from smallblock to bb.If cleaned and painted nicely the brackets will sell good on ebay.
