It sounds like it is not getting enough fuel when it is under load. The main jet and the emusion tube feed fuel into the venturi once it is off idle.

All I have is an H, so I don't have any manuals for the 460. If the carburators were similar, the emulsion tube (or metering nozzle) comes up at an angle into the venturi. The main jet feeds the lower end which has holes or slots that pre-mix fuel and air and discharges it into the carb throat. If the slots / holes are plugged up, the motor will not run right.

How different is the carb for your 400 ? Can you make an adapter to attach it to the manifold ? Can you turn it 45 degrees and attach it with a couple vice grips (almost kidding)? If you could fit any other carb, you could operate the throttle plate by hand and see what happens. Do be careful not to set the shed on fire.
