    Hi everyone. I am new to VV. I have a 1969 G-10 that came with 230/250 that i will gladly remove for a V8. I can get a Chevy 400, but dont know if it will go in as easy as a 350 will? Would some feed me their knowledge please.

    I did some inspector work. I didn't find anything about the 400 being a big block.

    It should fit but make sure you beef up the cooling system or you will have issues with the 400.

    If you ordered an Impala or Malibu 400 4bbl in 70-72 you got a bbc 402, 400 2bbl you got the sbc either way you got 400 emblems on the fenders.
