The 400 is an excellent engine if you ask me.
My dad had one in his old 1 ton crew cab. It was a stock engine except for the mild cam and headers.
It had a big Dana LSD diff 3.73:1 and I was surprised when it could spin the rear wheels. This was a late 70's truck.
That engine wound TIGHT and quick like what you would expect from a small block. It was definitely WAY better running (and especially sounding) and lasted a hell of a lot longer than the Chevy 454 of the same years!
Heck, any of the 383,400,413,440 series would be great if you want big block power!
