Default school me on 389's

I am looking to make my 72 Lemans more street friendly. Right now it has a 455 and runs 11.70's at 3800lbs. Going to make it into a cruiser for road trips.
I have been looking for a 400. I have a buddy that will give me (yes free) a 389 to build for it. I am not familiar with them.
Is it basically a 400? Are they good engines? I want to build it mostly stock with an 4 speed auto. Looking to make some 500 mile trips.
