Is this a good deal for motor and tranny?

[Chris_H]

I have a buddy who is trying to sell a complete 400cui motor and C-6 (or so we think) tranny that is out of a 1974 T-Bird. He says the motor is complete, from the carb to the oil pan, including the accesories. He is asking $500 for both, but said he would sell me the 2 for $300. I would like to get this, but honestly don't know what I would do with it. Anybody know anything about this block? A friend of his was telling him that its a 351 made into a 400, but supposedly its not a stroker? How is that possible? Just curious if anybody has any ideas on this. I figure for $300 I couldn't go too wrong.
