You can bolt the 400C barrel onto the 370 but if someone see's the 400cc writen on the cylinder you won't be able to race it in pre '78.
The 370 cylinder will bore to 400 no problem, i've done it on mine because it's easier to source std 400 pistons than o/s 370 pistons.

Tim, you would be hypothetically looking at a 3.0mm oversize 370 piston to get to the std 400 bore. An overbore radius of 1.50mm which equates to 3.00mm when measuring the diameter.
