Looks like a blue interior to me. I could use the roof rail weatherstrips for all 4 doors, the kick panels, the B-pillar trim, the C-pillar trim, and the trim pieces that go over the door frames against the headliner. Also please take larger pictures of all the interior bits. I may want to say, buy all 4 door panels and armrests and bases and window cranks and handles and all that.

there are some rare 400's out there, XE 400-4V's, the FMX block with the double bellhousing pattern, some with screw in core plugs in the valley, some with no standing rib next to the distributor and rumours of 4 bolt mains Shocked

yes 5th digit is S which is your engine code and it means 400M
in your 73 GTS cars one will be H code which is your original car and is 351C 2V
and the other is Q for 351C 4v

nothing means 400m.  a 400 is a 400.  the M designation is only used with the 351M.

And ncie score!  Yes, a good older 400 is worth listing on craigslist.  you can ebay the intake itself for about $100.  Keep the trans as it will have the 429/460 bolt pattern.
