Black smoke indicates excessive fuel (flooding). Blue smoke indicates oil. White smoke indicates coolant.

Why does your 400 Chevy small block break up and puff black when you excelerate hard?

Black smoke is typically an indication that the fuel is not burning completely. Often that's because their is either too much fuel (sticking injectors, carburetor problem, plugged air filter...) or because of a weak spark or low compression.

The 400 Chevy is a small block engine. The 400 BIG BLOCK Chevy does not exist! 402 big block Chevy does. it seems in the early 70s Chevy put 402s in their pick ups and they had 400 badges. this opened the can of worms known as the non-existant big block 400.

Will a turbo 400 transmission bolt up to a 400 Chevy block?

A Chevy turbo 400 will bolt up to a Chevy 400 engine just fine. A BOP (Buick, Olds, Pontiac) turbo 400 will not bolt up to a Chevy engine. The bellhousing is different between the Chevy turbo 400 case and the BOP turbo 400 case. Another option is a J-W Performance ultrabell which can be used with a Chevy or a Buick, Olds, Pontiac engine, but this requires the transmission case to be modified in order to use it (The original bellhousing must be cut off and the case prepped, then the ultrabell bolts on with the front pump bolts).
