WIW- SBC 400 w/ TH400 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WORNBRAKES · 09-12-2007, 09:15 PM

I pulled them out of my 71 CC. Casting and suffix code come up 74 175hp 400. I was told that engine and tranny ran but can not confirm. All parts are there with correct ballancer.

I am taking it to the meet this weekend and if it dont sell, I will offer it here. What are these worth? I was going to ask $400 for the combo when I thought it was a 350. I am not sure the value of a 400.
Thanks in advance for imput.

Sorry, no pics the memory card is lost.

There are 2 400 blocks one is a 511 casting and the other is a 509 casting. The 509 is the one that most people want as the way its designed there is not as much of a heating problem.

This one is an 817 casting and CSU suffix code.
What are they worth?

does it run? long or short shaft on the trans?

i'd say if it ran at all 400 is reasonable for them... a th400 short shaft core would be easily worth 150$ and then the motor should be worth a couple hundered just for a core.. so if they did run then you right on track
