The ad says it is producing the factory hp of 360 (I'm not sure if that means "net" or "gross" by today's standards). The price is $750 obo. I'd like to find a motor with a bit more power than my stock '69 350 SBO, but one that my TH350, original rad and 2.25" dual exhaust can handle. Does this 400 sound like it might fit the description? Would this engine have C or D heads?
Thanks!

I would guess that the engine has C heads, D head are rare W-30's, but I really agree with Oldsguy for $750.00 BUY IT!
