It may bolt up but you'll have poor compression with no power, so the answer is no.
People claim that it is useless to do. I guess the poor flow of the SR head wouldn't be practical to put on a higher displacement 2.4
A real LT-1 had a four bolt main block.
Yes, it should bolt straight in, the loom might need some modifications depending on what model you have.
Some, yes. The heads would have to be drilled, for water, as the 400 does not flow water through the block, but are always 1:94, large chamber. Good head to work with. 441, castings, I think. The flywheel, and balancer, are externally balanced, so they will not, and should be kept with the reciprocating assembly. (crank, rods, and pistons) And, the block is unique, however, for racing we put the 350 crank, 6 inch rods, and special pistons in to make a 383. Everything else will interchange.
the 351m/400 are the same engine the only difference is the crank and the pistons. as far as big block heads u can put 429/460 heads on it but u can put a decent set of 4v 351 Cleveland heads on it and a 4v intake with a 4 barrel carb on there then youll have a real torque monster
im guessing someone has told you that you have a 'leaking valve cover gasket'. the valve cover is normally on the top of the engine,above the pistons, sometimes its where you put the oil into. The gasket is where the cover joins with the block.
engines are either long or short block. it depends on your motor size, but you wont have to replace that. it depends on the amount of damage. but either way. put oil in your truck! it should run out unless there is a leak! A short block is the engine block with crank, pistons, and rods. The long block is a short block with heads, cam, etc. It depends on the situation, but it would be worth a try to put in fresh oil and filter and try to run the engine. Stranger things have happened. If you do have to replace the engine, you might be able to get away with just a short block. Assuming your old heads and cam are in good condition.
you put in a 400 crank and shorter pistons
A 327 and a 350 share the same bore diameter (4.00"), but the stroke of the crankshaft is different. If you put 327 pistons on a 350 crankshaft it would put the piston 1/4" out of the hole at TDC.
You put coal to boil the water in the boiler to raise steam to drive the pistons which turns the wheels.
