Hi there yes it is a 400 block with 350 crank and rods which makes it a 377. I have had it pull up to 7500 rpm and she likes to rev. with the 456 12 bolt in the back it goes pretty good . I have ran in the mid 12's in  the 1/4 mile.

I know of a GG 67 that is an original car and there is a blue/green colour on the floor pans and some of it is into the tubs a bit too. Maybe you have the same thing.
