Most of the "400's" installed in 1970 Chevy pickups were actually big block 402's, but they called them 400's. They called the same engine in a 1970 Chevelle a 396. The 400 small block was primarily a low performance torque engine, used mostly in station wagons and full size cars.

Will a 1985 400 Chevy small block engine fit in your 1989 Pontiac formula?

Yes, but Chevy did not make a 400 in 1985. If the car already has a v8, it is already a Chevy engine. If it is a v6, it is still a Chevy engine, but you would need v8 wiring, brackets, exhaust,etc to make it work.

Is the 400 a small block or big block?

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).
