I see Lewiston, not that far from TO, nice drive to Niagara region, basically he is saying $200. I think it would fit behind the third row in the Suburban.

The jury is out on these though isn't it. Never a high HP motor but tree pulling torque. It's nice to have cubes though. That 79 had about 185 HP and 300 lb ft of torque.  A  L-48 350 Vette engine was 190 HP and about 270 lb ft. Even so there is something captivating about a 400 small block.

Be Careful on the 400 blocks. The early 400 4bolt main blocks were really bad for cracks in the main webbing. The later 400 blocks were OK but the heads were subject to cracking and the cranks often broke in half. Always magnaflux the crank and block and check the crank for straightness. Remember too there are 2 cooling ports between the cylinders on the 400's that all other smallblocks do not have. I think some guys ignore that issue when swapping heads but I can't remember if it causes problems down the road or not. Because the 400's were such dogs even new I used to order in brand new 300hp 350 heads and camshafts and we would upgrade new or almost new vehicles with the 400 and recurve the distributors and they went like stink.

A friend who does performance marine engines built them to compete in offshore. Makes it easier to balance the tail dragging weight than using big blocks. As Wilson said " Big Block horsepower in a Small Block suit"

I build them. They work good with basic hot rod stuff done to them. Mine should make 450+ hp at 9.2:1 on pump gas.
