Re: new 99.00 dollar 400 engine
Sweeeeet! I'm getting ready to rebuild a 400 I've got sitting in the corner of my shop. No way I can even get close to the deal you got. Early Christmas gift. Great score.

Re: new 99.00 dollar 400 engine
Check and see if there are steam holes drilled in those heads. If he ran it without them you might have some problems.

Re: new 99.00 dollar 400 engine
another question how many freeze plugs does it have all together? some had 3 on each side of the block and they are the most common while some had 2 on each side as any other small block

Re: new 99.00 dollar 400 engine
hey mark,
if all else fails i'll take it off your hands =). you could allways take the crank put it in a 350 and make a 383 stroker. actuly if your going to do anything but run it stock getting an internaly balanced stroker assembly for the 400 would be a good idea then you can resell the crank and make up a few bucks. either way kudos on your score. ondrew does it come with an intake too? i need one. |

Re: new 99.00 dollar 400 engine
Sweet deal there for sure. Those look like stock dished pistons to me. The block or the heads were worth your purchase price. I love SBC 400's...
