Whats wrong with the 400? Its a damn good motor that can easily make 500 ft/lbs with a good heads/cam combo.

There are various ways to tell if it is a 400 and not some 350 that he is trying to pass off I.E. block numbers, number of freeze plugs etc. Is it a 2-bolt main or 4-bolt? In the 400's case the 2-bolt was a stronger design than the 4-bolt. Try to find out the specs on the cam. If you want any info on the 406's don't hesitate to ask. Oh and ask him if he drilled out the steam holes in the heads. If he doesn't know what your talking about, chances are its not a 400.
