Is it a BOP TH400 or a Chevy TH400? I'd tell him $100. Keep the tranny if its a chevy one and put the motor on ebay, somebody will buy it. If the tranny is a chevy one its worth the $100 just for the case. IMO. BTW the difference I'm talking about is the bell housing bolt pattern in case you didn't know.

The 403's are a decent motor in the lower band. I guess the don't handle higher RPM's too well. It might be worth it to store it for like 5 years. At the moment 403's aren't in too big of a demand. Most put the Pontiac 400 in their bird. But the market is always changing so you never know.

GM never made a 405, it is probably a 305 , & you do not wantone of them, to small, if you are going ot swap get a 350 or 400 sbc. or an newer LT11 or LS1.
a 400 small block would have to be bored out ot about 25 thousands, to be a 405 & no one would do that because you cant get that size pistons, unless you pay a boat load of money!
