Quick way to ID a 350 from a 400 is to look for the kick down. if there is an electric switch on your carb that is activated when you get close to WOT, then it's a 400, if there is a cable kickdown hooked to the throttle, then you have a 350.

Transmission related question : How long do you think the "long" tailshaft is ? I was at the wrecker the other day and they were telling me the t400 in a station wagon has a long tailshaft . Might make a good tranny to use when converting to a one piece driveshaft .
