396 and 400s are the same block I believe IIRC. You can find the 400 in a ton of old Chevy trucks, vans, and work vehicles laying in any junkyard today.
Unless you're the oddball like myself who would prefer an original 6 cyl car to a clone any day of the week.

The 396 and 402s are both Big Blocks. The 400s are on the Small Block platform.

I'm not a fan of Camaros being "transformed" but I do admire the individuals ability to accomplish such an enormous fabrication.
