388
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.
No
Standard bore would be 372.
No. You would need to have the main journals turned down .200". Then it would fit.
It's a .060" over 350 with a 400 crank
yes a350 trans and 400 use the same bellhousing
Absolutely. You will need special bearings for it, but it will bolt right in.
They dont make a 350 big block.The big block starts at 400. Wrong! 400 is still a smallblock. Big block Chevys start at 396, but does not include the 400, which the heads/crank and starter/etc. fit on the 350/305 etc.
The small block 350 uses a smaller main bearing diameter than the Small block 400. To run a 400 crank in a 350 the crank must be "turned" down at a machine shop to fit the 350 bearing diameters. You also will need to use special pistons with the correct compression height for the 350 IF you are using the 5.7 inch 350 connecting rods. If you use the 5.565 inch 400 connecting rods , then you can use regular 350 pistons. The longer stroke 400 crank also requires that you provide additional clearance inside the block, by grinding notches to eliminate the crank hitting the block and other parts. Finally, the entire engine must be re-balanced to make sure that the engine does not vibrate. The 400 is externally balanced and the 350 is internally balenced so you need to use 400 flywheel and 400 harmonic balancer.
yes, but you'll need to have the main journals turned down first.
a 383 stroker is just a 400 crank in a 350 block...so yes
