Clutch slip is not normal at all on a 400, but exactly what is causing it i would not like to hazard a guess

Hi,
     One thing to check would be the clutch end float, also, make sure the odd-ball friction plate is in the right position, I agree that clutch slip is uncommon on 400/4's even with tuned engines
