the 400 has lots of torque not RPM so the cam choice and carb size is a real thing -- its not an injected motor - fuel use when you first get it on the road is a very big issue -- understand you will want to drive it day and night for the first month you might even sleep in it hahahahhahaha i did -- start saving your loose change for gas money -- i am not kidding get a 5 gallon water jug and start throwing your loose change in it -- it could take you 2 years to fill it and a week to use it up hahahahhahahahha - who is it that will look at the bottom end of the motor for you, so you can get a starting point ????////--- lets just say -- if all is OK you must buy an early style Z 28 high pressure pump not a high volume oil pump -- small block 400 wants pressure and has a necked down oil pump drive shaft the stock one is to be changed to a performance steel end with the pump ( high vol pumps in a hyd lifter motor stall the lifters in the bore and wipe out the cam ) -- 50 bucks CP products buys the high pressure pump and drive -- race gasket set not avail for 400, so more expensive to buy as pieces, lets say 150 bucks all the gaskets ( Fel Pro ) only -- not the indian crap -- they have timing chains imports that are ok for what you are doing 25 / 35 bucks , the edelbrock carb will get better fuel ecom than the same holley , sure the holley might be a spit faster but thats all, i have a box of take offs 6 or 8 of them holley 650 vacume type you can have one or two if you want -- i think i have some DP as well small 650 / 700 types -- tell you what i will send you a couple of carbs take one completly apart and than use the other to help put it back together again hahahahahhahahaah -- have some holley books as well you can borrow to help -- my guess is you want to learn ???????????//// --jz
