AG,
Good choice on the 400!!!
All the timing covers mentioned WILL interchange! BUT, the time mark can be in different places for the specific balancer used.
A 400 takes the largest balance that was used on a small block, I believe 8 inch.

You may be able to/or have to install a bolt on timing tab. It attaches to 2 of the timing cover bolts

Man I have a built 400 I plan to put in my 67 C10. Need to install an old 283 first, just wanting to get it running. It will take more $$$ for better tranmission and rear end parts for the 400 install...
