Unlikely - the 400 was designed for big blocks and was introduced on 1965 
models. The 350 was considerably later (1969 ?). For an early I suspect 
they might have adapted the "Switch-Pitch" torque converter that allowed 
the 2-speed Jetaway to be advertised as a three speed.

If I wind up with a PG car am going to look into a lockup torque converter 
to lower the revs, have the engine run cooler, and increase highway MPG. Is 
one of the few things that can do all three without affecting performance.
