406, good one that's what I have,

Well you need to get is a new kick down for your 400 and your drive line my be to long. I think 700 and 350 and the same, but the 400 will be longer. that should be it.

What did you do to 406?

Yes!!

I have the same heads with a 292 comp cam and 750.

do you know what size headers you are going to run?

You will need big tubes for that motor like 1.3/4 with 3" collector..

Re: 84 sub

I was going to say new kick down too. But other then that it should be good to roll. Defiantly should be fun in in your Sub! Yeah 1200 $ seems like a pretty damn good deal too me too.
