Josh,
Put that 440 crank in your 400 to make 450 cubes. A set of headers and a good torque cam and you will not be unhappy. I replaced the original 383 in my '67 W200 with this and am most pleased. The power, torque and fuel mileage all increased substatially. Well, maybe the mileage increase was not substantial but it is better and related to your right foot pressure which is hard not to use. With the light pistons available it winds almost as quickly as my 340. Feels nearly as strong also.
