71 400 sbc in my 84 z28?

Hey Guys I was wondering if I should swap out my stock 305 HO in my 84 Z for a 1971 SBC 400. I found one for 500 and its rebuilt, has a Rochester quadrajet carb., new fuel pump, new gaskets, fresh paint, and it runs great according to the guy, So should I pick it up and swap it in? I have been considering a 350 swap for a while but I never found a decent one. Then I came across this. Plus I figure I would need to do less for more HP and torque with a 400 than a 350. All input is appreciated.

Sure.

You could even put your factory q-jet on it.
