Alot of that is myth, I have read up on 400’s and their ‘heat issues’ and ‘cracking blocks.’ If you cool the engine right, there should be no heating issues. But that goes for any engine, any block can crack if its not cooled properly. :greddy:

Can I find one fairly cheap? Im not dead-set on a 400, I just would like the extra cubes if I could find one. A 350 is not out of the question, but why 87-Up? My dad has told me I want to look for an 85-Older block.
