I like the 400 SBC. If I could afford to put fuel injection on one, I'd replace the 350 in my 91 with a 400.




Found this yesterday at a house we were roofing.... she might sell it.
Looks like a '53....

You're thinking of the 429BB. Different motor. The 400SB was like a 350, just one block style. They did have a 429BB, and a 429 Tall Block. Two different motors.

The trucks had 4bbl carbs on the 400.

My first truck was 1 1977 Chevy Silverado short bed 4x4. It had the 400 in it. It was a good engine. I wish I still had the truck. My dad bough it in 78 and I got it in 87 when I turned 16. It sure was a sad day in 93 when he sold it.

I remember the first big block chevy truck motor was a 366 CU. in. and the cam was gear drive so the cam ran opposite direction of the other BB motors, the deck height was different also, don't ever remember a 429" chevy stock.
366,(truck) 396, 402, 427, 454. in the early days.

Jon never heard of a 429 chevy. Cadillac had a 429. Maybe you are referring to a 348/409 or a 427.

348/409 was a wedge motor, we called it a "W" motor.
the Z11 427, was a wedge motor also, basically a stroked 409
Not to be confused a Big block 427 motor.
the 400 SBC was a Siamese cylinder and low hp, Monte Carlo's used them.
they were a red headed step child so to speak.
Guys running circle tracks built them using special bearings and cranks and did ok with the SBC 400

the 402 BB was just a bored 396.
it was roomered in the day, Gm had some bore quality problems so they oversized them and brought out a 402 but badged them "400" on the fender of the trucks/motor homes.

I think he ment the 427 that was the base engine from 66 to 90. It came in the brigadier and topkick for gmc, and the bruin and Kodiak for chevrolet.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
