A 400 HO without the original motor, manifolds and carb is not a 400 HO. That engine is a 350 HO or a low compression 400 block circa early 70's. To advertise a car otherwise is seller hype and buyer ignorance.
I think the proper way to advertise a car like this would be "400 HO Firebird " It really is a 400 HO car as listed on the PHS, but is missing the HO motor. As far as the seller- it is a free America and they can advertise as they choose- right or wrong, if they disclose the motor as not numbers matching, I don't see the harm. As far as the buyer- you should always do your homework if you want a numbers matching car. Or hire someone to check it out for you.
