What have you done to your 351M/400

[havi]

Ive never heard that before, is it the only ford motor with a 4" stroke or did chevy make one also? What is the stroke on a 460?

Yes it is. The 460 is a tad shorter.

The modular motors (5.4 v8 and 6.8 v10) actually have a longer stroke (4.15 I think), but before them the 335 series 400 had the longest production stroke of a Ford motor.

Quick! I need a way to add about 300hp to my 400 for next weekend. I have a budget of $65.

Get a K&N

Ive got nothing done to this motor aint wasting any money on it neither not doing oil changes either. The modified is a waste of money i would rather save up and buy a 429 460 and blow up the m and use it as a boat anchor.

 

[UNRULEE]

WOW, do you even realize what forum your in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That being said, I'll take your statement as an admission of your ignorance of these engines.

Do some research before stating such blasphemy !!!

you can send it to me!
I'll trade you trucks

A 400 would not make a good boat anchor. They weigh, what about 500lbs? Try lifting it and throwing it off the bow of a boat. Try pulling it back in. Not good.

 

[TexasNomad]

I have a boat anchor! i'll trade for a running 400?

 

[surewhynot]

When I find a 460, I'll give you my 400. Only catch is, you have to pick it up. I don't deliver.

not that I dislike the 400, but in a mud truck, I prefer the extra cubes of the 460.

How about! a running 460 with edelbrock manifold HEI dizzy with a tranny rear end 4 new tries and rims with a cab 2 doors long bed 77 front end LED dash up grade 2 fuel tanks and a clean title ?

 

[surewhynot]

Even trade?

 

[TexasNomad]

Will the 400 be running and will I be able to drop it in my truck?

 

[surewhynot]

Yup. sure will. It's the one in the cornbinder.

 

[TexasNomad]

What kinda tranny is it hooked up to ?
I want that engine! so how do we do this trade Tony?

 

[surewhynot]

question, why do you want the 400 so bad when you have a 460?

It has a c6 bolted to it.

 

[TexasNomad]

460 is to big for what I want or need 302 is to small the 400 is just right

 

[surewhynot]

10-4. Understand completely. The m series is an overlooked engine IMO. They can be bilt to perform well in a more compact package than the 385 series.

 

[TexasNomad]

Now I just have to find out how to get it to you....
Hmmmmm.......... I guess I could ship it.. driving it there would eat me alive in gas.
