1970-1979

Cars - B body, Caprice, Impala, full size cars and station wagons. Chances are you won't find any.

Trucks - Pickups and vans. Possibly 1/2 tons but normally 3/4 ton and heavier.

You're probably better off just looking for a 400 engine (shortblock, actually) on eBay, craigslist, racingjunk, or the like.

a 98 suburban with a 400? I dont think so.. That must have been put in by someone, It would have been a vortec 5.7 or possibly 5.0 stock..

'98 will not have a 400... not stock anyway. They stopped casting the blocks in 1980.

Re: what cars/truck came with a 400

I know some of the 70 to 72 Monte Carlos came with the 400 SBC. Advertised as the 400 2-Barrel, the 400, 4-Barrel were 402 BBC. Many of the early to mid 70 chevy trucks had the 400 also...
