yeah no magic decoder ring needed like a SBC to figure out what it is and no factory built 400 SB mopars.

There is no factory LA 400 cu in engine. I sold autoparts for many years and there wasn't one catalogue (yes, we used catalogues back then!) that showed such an engine. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) Dave

Yeah, this really is a no-brainer. If it's a MOPAR 400 it's a B engine and to all but the truly illiterate it's a bigblock. The '73-ish timing tells me it's the 400 that was introduced about 1972 model year. That being said, you can do many wonderful things with a 400 either with stock 3.38 stroke or with increased stroke out as far as 4.25". If it was my situation I'd go for a 408 smallblock stroker in an A-body. But a really nice low mileage 400 would be tempting.....And with aluminum heads it'd weigh the same as a smallblock.

are you just betting him it's not a small block? or are you thinking of buying it off him?
if it's a bet, have him take you to look at it. bring a smart phone with you so you can google the casting numbers and show him what it is. either it's a small block that MAYBE somebody rebuilt with a stroker crank and told him it was a 400" small block, or it's a stock stroke B-block.

told him if there was such a thing id buy it from him... ..aaaaaahhhhh its a 360 bored out amc motor?.....with 429 heads.... Sounds weird
You know, , there was an aluminum block 3.7L 4 cylinder motor that used a Ford 429 head. But a 429 head on an AMC? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh2.gif)
If the motor is coming out of a '79 Ram, it's a 318 or 360. '78 was the last year for the Big Block Mopar (except in motorhomes).
