----Bill,,,The 400hp version was identical to the 425 except single 4-barrel with an aluminum intake. Actually, they are rarer than a 425 but still pretty damn quick! You could not get a powerglide with the 400hp engine. My great friend, Wayne McCabe (RIP Wayne) from Provincetown, Massachusetts had a really cool 400hp black SS. Completely original in all respects.....Bill S
