Totally forgot about adapters. Know a good place where I could get the right set? I'm not even sure what size I'll need. I can't find the specs.

Re: SBC 400

The oil pan on the 400's won't clear your k member. You'll need an aftermarket pan. I used the canton racing one on mine. That'll run you around $300 tho unfortunately :/

Re: 305 TBI to 400 Carb
