From what I see, it is a 1975 400 block. I'm afraid there is nothing ram air about it though. Just a regular 2 bolt main 400.

XC  could have been a great code to find ,  but the block casting of 500557 ,makes it a late 400...  sorry..  just as Carl said.. nothing special.

Find a 302 SBC and use that, pure Canadian Poncho then.

It is special because it is a Pontiac 400. It just isn't an extra-special 400 though. wink
