Questions like this should be in the engine forum for the 400 as it is NOT 73-79 truck related as this thread will be moved there anyway 
Ford has Engine series forums the forums are split according to what is what.
The 289/302 is a V90* engine
The 400 is a 335 engine series engine
2 entirely different animals
Just get the Edelbrock Performer intake for the 400.

Lol, no. The 400 intake is almost twice the size of a 289. Edelbrock and others make 4v intakes for the 400. There is no stock 4v intake for the 400. You can use a 351C intake with special spacers, but I'd still get a 400 intake. Fewer gaskets mean fewer leaks.

I have that engine and just installed a Weiand Action Plus on it. I used that because i'm using a Holley 4150 carb which has a square bore. The Edelbrock Performer would be best if you are using a spread bore such as a Rochester or Holley (3357/6711) double pump.

and if you need to keep EGR, the Edelbrock 3771 is the ONLY choice, as far as I know.
some folks prefer it to the 2771 (non-egr) version even if not using EGR, as it has a bigger carb-mounting surface making leak-prevention a little easier...
