I had a few 400's, they're a good torque engine but don't like revs. Had a '61 Boy Scout, too, put a 304 IHC V8 in it hooked to the stock 3-speed. Flipped the axles under the springs and had years of fun with that lil' Binder! I always fantasized about Anglia-style front end, and a "real" V8, slammed and smoothed, but sold it instead.
