Nothing like square body crew cab sheet metal to impress and intimidate. Is your 400 small block a 2-barrel carbed engine? Those Chevy factory 400 small blocks, despite the cubic inches, had some little tiny terrible flowing heads on them. If you had an aftermarket 400 small block with some good flowing heads and a 4-barrel carb, then you would have a small block that could pull.

Down south bout 10 min out of deleware but I work in central, Jackson nj
Thanks man! Unfortunately I don't know anything about the 400 other than it's got a edelbrock 650cfm and intake and it was put in in place of the tired 454bb. They didn't use the 400 after '79 from what I've been told. We'll see how it works out but right now I'm kinda impressed with the vortec 8.1/Allison combos specs if I can find one that would be my choiceNothing like square body crew cab sheet metal to impress and intimidate.

That seems easy enough but now I gotta find engine and trans. I can't imagine that's gonna be cheap tho I kno the durtymax can haul ass
Hell yeah. 8 hour water pump jobs!
Yikes. I have heard the service troubles from some of my diesel mechanic buddies. I'd love to use one but I'd also like to work on my own mess
I paid $1700 for a complete 4wd duramax on copart wrecked. Still ran and drove. However they don’t usually go quite that cheap.
There's some definite considerations to be made when the time comes
Ive done a handful, they’ve never taken 8 hours.
Hell, I can damn near do lb7 injectors in 8
Duramax swap would be tits.

Unlike the newer Cummins they atleast last longer that 15,000 miles. I love the 6.7 in my new service truck but our department goes through water pumps rapidly. Dodge sent out a letter saying they’re working on a fix atleast, but to keep replacing with the current part number
1980 was the last year for the 400 small block.
