Do they even make them for the m engine i heard that some of the parts from clevlands are interchangable is this true?.

get a paw catalog. you can get roller rocker conversions and alot of other neat stuff for the m engine.

Do they have a website?

Flattop pistons from Tim Meyer.

I've got an dual plane Weiand intake waiting for my 400 project.

Not a lot of stuff, but there's some out there.

P.A.W., Speedway, Jegs, etc.

tim meyer is the guru for the m engine as far as i am concerned. when you need those hard to find parts, he has them.

Absolutely what he said. I'm going the route Dan Lee and Tim Meyer did with Dan's 434 stroker EFI project for my 87 tbird. On a lesser expensive route, just using an aftermarket timing chain set up to zero advance/retard will help. And making a 351M into a 400 is the best to do...just need a 400 crank and pistons. Followed by an Edelbrock aluminum intake and 4bbl carb. I could get into specifics, but that all depends on what you want, I guess. Consider this: in 1971, the first year the 400 was produced, it was built with higher compression and better performance than any 400 (or 351M) from 1972 -1982. Why? because it was not smogged at all. Figuratively, just recreating the factory 400 from 1971 is leaps and bounds ahead.

Well.. I ... thought...maybe... it.. Its not yours man get up outta my grill

well since nobody has said it yet, the best performance product made for the 335 series is a 460 swap...

Just kiddin yall.
Looked at most of those links, lots of good options..

Finding the parts may be harder, and they will cost more, but a Ford 400 will kill a 383 Chevy. Sometime, when when I'm not so tired from managing snow and ice operations, I'll give you some facts.

Hi Mud Rat, welcome! Another Buckeye, huh? I'm from that part of the country.... a long, long time ago. Stay warm, looks like winter hit big-time this year.

Bill will correct me here, but the only major difference between the two is the deck height.
Crank, rods, pistons, and pushrods are different.
All else is the same.
