Hi, and welcome to the forum!
You might want to consider swapping out that 400 for a 460. It's a straight bolt-in swap with the bellhousing pattern and motor mounts being the same for both engines, but the 460 has a bit more potential for some real power. Not that the 400 is a bad motor, it's just that it was designed as more of a smog motor and takes a bit of doing to get it up to its potential, while you already have the advantage of more cubes with the 460 right off the bat...

Well I Checked The Block Today Had A 352 On It (yeah No 400) So After Seeing That I Checked The Heads For A # And Found The 360/390 Code But It Has A 4bbl Intake That Looks To Have Never Been Tampered With I Thought They Had 2bbl's? Its Also A Power Steering Truck But Sometime Since It's Been Sitting Someone Has Taken The Resevoir And Lines She's Also Missing The Alternator And Carb.
