Where's all the Columbus, GA peeps?
Ok guys, I am heading to Youngstown on Thursday to pick up a 509 casting 400 SBC which will end up going into the '94. Seems like a really good deal at $300 for block, crank, rods, pistons, flywheel, and balancer (eventhough it'll get punched out .030). I see some progress in the works coming.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. He was asking $400 and even at that price, it's a pretty good deal. I'll need new internals with going 30 over, but I had planned on doing that on my 350 as well.

The 3951509 block is the most sought after 2 bolt 400 block. Some have the better metallurgy with 1% added tin and 2% added nickel, which increase the strength of the cast iron block A LOT. The added nickel is used in a lot of newer blocks, GM and ford among others. I have heard of guys taking 5.0 'stang engines apart at 100,000 miles and not even needing to bore them to rebuild with the cylinder bores checking out like new still, as the added nickel blocks wear so much better than the older cast alloy formula. 010 and 020 numbers will both be stamped usually under the timing cover area. Strange thing on mine, they are stamped on the side of the block, smaller, near the deck. Never seen that. These I believe are also the "cheater" blocks, as you can pass them off as 350's because they have the same amount of freeze plugs on the sides - 2. 8" balancers also are a giveaway that it's a 400, but you can buy externally balanced 6" harmonic dampners. Then the only clue that it is not a smaller sbc would be the casting numbers.
