does anyone know of anyplace that sells 400 sb shortblocks with the rotating assembly or 400 crate motors...ive been thinking and it looks like i may be able to get the money so why not go 400 instead of 350

 

no 400 crate engines, you'll have to scan threw classified adds and swap meets

 

Or junkyards, or offer me a lot of money for the one on my engine stand (I'm broke). I don't actually want to sell it, but, a HUGE amount of cash would take it off my hands, even though it ain't worth a HUGE amount of cash.

 

i'll give you 5$ for it

 

Why not go 415 instead of 400?

$5 + $10 per mile * 500miles = $5005, sound good? j/k. Or, you give me a decent running 350 and you can have the 400. But keep in mind, it hasn't had any machine work or crack checking done, and it has been on the engine stand for 3 years and has surface rust, and needs a rebuild. The only good reusable things on it would be the block, crank, (doubt you'd want the short rods), starter, flexplate, oil pan, balancer (stock one), and whatever else. Heads were from a 350 (but I think they were still 76cc) with the holes drilled, but we pulled it because it broke a rocker arm, and didn't check to see why (probably stuck valve, exh.).

 

Why not go for a 427, or a 453? That would be pretty expensive. But if you do find one in a junkyard, dont tell the owner what it is. They are pretty greedy when it comes to junkyard jewls. (Just remebered Junkyard Wars is on tonight, =) )
