Just be sure to combine a 67cc had with a pump gas friendly dished piston to get a compression ratio that will work on the street every day. If you perfer flat top 400 pistons get the large chamber 70+cc version of this head.
Watch the spring seat pressure if you're using a hyd camshaft in your 400. This head is marketed as a serious street bracket racer head set up for a .550" +- lift racey solid cam or roller. More spring pressure than nessessary will just shorten the camshaft life of a flat tappet hyd in a daily driver. its all about balance. Summit has the same head available in different assembled packages for different end purposes.
