Default Chevy rebuilds

I said mine was the MPI. The link is to a 315 hp carbed motor. And the
400's sucked in cars also, the cooling left a lot to be desired.



Ahem. GM built two different "400's". The first was unique to Pontiac,
was a big block and was used starting in 1967 in the GTO. It was a slightly
bigger version of the 389 but had improved heads with larger valves for
improved breathing.

The "other" 400 ci, to which you are most likely referring, is a bored small
block and indeed, had some problems.
