The 351M and 400 are identical in appearance ... the only
difference between them is the crankshaft and pistons
The 351W and 400 have almost no interchangeable parts.

67 did have an AC option. I believe that the controls were under the dash on
the unit. I'm sure you will here from others on this too.

Hi all,
Want to thank everyone who answered my post about the 4 speed OD on my
'77.
However, I come to you with my hat in hand. Goofy me asked about the
wrong tranny. You can lash me with a limp noodle later.
I meant to ask about a later model 5 speed. Will it bolt to the
bellhousing on my '77 F-150 w/ 351M and 3 on the tree? If so, are there
many or any mods involved such as crossmembers, driveshaft, bellhousing,
etc. i know the floor will have to be cut and rearranged. Thats a
given. I need to do something because of gas prices. You know how that
goes right?
Anyway, thanks in advance for your help.

Repeating what I heard when I asked this same question elsewhere:

Let's do some math. Assume fuel is $1.65/gallon, you get 12 mpg with your 3
speed and you travel 12,000 miles per year. So you presently use 1,000
gal/yr for a fuel cost of $1650.

You can adjust the numbers to fit your truck.

Let's assume by adding the 5 speed, you gain 20% in mileage. Probably high,
but let's go with it. You now get 14.4 mpg. To go those 12,000 miles, you
buy 833 gallons/yr for a fuel cost of $1375 (rounded) a savings of $275.

How much is this swap going to cost, $500 at least? It would be nearly 2
years before you saved dime one (cost of swap versus fuel savings).

I'm not saying not to do the swap, just that doing it just to "save money"
isn't a realistic reason...

Hello Dave,

The article is in the Feb Street and Strip. It is basically a summit racing
catalog with a couple of extra pages of reading.

The article was about stoked ford engines. They had a 347, a 393, and a 520
which hit 752 HP with 660 ft/lbs of torque.

All I need is some time, money, and a 64' Falcon to drop it into :)
All the brand-Xers would be eating my dust, if I could get it to hook up.

Subject: Re: Engine Problems

One possibility that wasnt mentioned is teh timing chain. I once cooked a 302
(wonderfull lil ol engine) with 60 miles in the nevada desert w/o any water
cause of a blown radiater. While my plug boots survived as did the rest of
teh engine initially, after a while, the timing gear started to disintegrrate
and loose the plastic (nylon whatever) teeth. Mine went way out of time when
it went. Maybe yours just went out a bit, maybe not.

Ive ocasionally seen an engine kick backwards, but never often or very much
either.

just a thought.

Subject: Re: 351W or 400?

The 400 your thinking about is teh M block, common with the 351M and not the
351W. It's got a different tranny bolt pattern than your W and would mean a
replacement tranny also if you did this swap. In a van Im not sure about wht
else you'd need (My 92 E150 doesnt have much room so Id suspect you'd be
similar). Elsewhere in the list I recently read about stroking the W up to
about 392 or so CI. That might be a better option for you. Torque is what
your wanting for that trailer pulling. CI helps and there's no sub for it,
but torque gets you where your going!

<< '77 Ford E150. Got it for free about a year ago (it had sat for 4 yrs).
Van has 130K on chassis, 50K on trans and about 35K on engine. I replaced
the timing chain recently with a steel set (yes, the rebuilt engine had a
NYLON cam gear in it, but mind you, it was rebuilt nearly 15 years ago-I
have the receipts!) and the 351 is running fine.

I rented a car trailer to pick up a N*ssan truck. With the truck and
trailer attached to the van (somewhere around 3500 pounds) it really dogged
out on the hills. We want to purchase a small travel trailer for camping.
I suspect a small (around 20') travel trailer will weigh in the ball park of
3500 pounds as well.

We really like this van and have no intentions of getting rid of it, but the
stock 351 may not be up to the task of pulling the trailer. A 460 swap is
out of the question. I know Ford had a 400 in passenger cars of that era.
Would the extra 50 cubes help? I have to deal with CA smog tests for a
couple more years, so a 4 barrel carb or headers is a no-no too.

Doesn't the 400 share the same valve covers, intake, ect as the 351W? If I
used my old valve covers (with the 351 emission sticker) could a person tell
the difference just by eyeball?

Or is the 400 just a POS?

Is there a vocational school or college near by you that has a auto body
class ? I have taken some of my vehicles to a vocational school near here &
they use your vehicle as part of their training in auto body class. Usually
all you have to pay for is the materials. Just an idea. I had them repaint a
' 79 Cougar for me (no rust or collision work--just a repaint) and it only
cost me $ 249.00 .I was really suprised that it turned out real good.

It sounds like you are describing dealer installed A/C. My 69 F250 has
factory installed A/C the controls are combined with the heater controls.
The original glove box is not available for use, but there is another small

Hey Everyone,
I just Brought home a new project the other day, its a 68' F100 with a strait 6 & a C-4 trans(engine & trans out of a Fairmont, year unknown) The guy wanted $650.00
but I got it for 500.-- Its got a strait body, but that's all it seems to have going for it .It looked very unloved sitting in the guys front yard, so I got my friends car dollie and towed her home (Hey Honey, look what followed me home, can I keep it !?! ;-)
The engine and trans have got to go, and the wiring is a disaster, I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions to post about this one .
As a matter of fact, I do have a question re: the bed -
The bed has terminal cancer, I went to the local salvage yard, and they had a couple of 71' F250 beds in pretty good shape for $200.--(price includes tailgate).
Is there any differences between the 68 & 71 beds (other than side marker lights)? And does $200. sound like an O.K. price ?

Why dosen't he install a rev limiter? If he's replaced more than 1
valvetrain without it he could have paid for it already.

My 68 manual that shows the controls mounted under the dash on
an added unit that housed the vents and a switch that gave
either heat or a/c. the normal fan switchs on dash are used.

LOL Well, uh, she can still be Envy! And I don't plan on selling her until
something big happens that makes her undriveable. Knowing Fords, I'm sure
she'll still be with me on my horse ranch in Montana way in the future! LOL

Congrats on your find!

A '71 should bolt right in. I don't think $200 is bad, but again, it
depends on the condition.

Then I have to ask, would purple paint mean much to the new buyer if the
truck looks like Godzilla stepped on it? Which by the way is the only way a
ford would ever become completely undrivable.....

Subject: New Lister Hello

Just want to say hello to everyone.
My name is Mike and I recently purchased a very nice '77 F100, styleside,
short bed. This truck is a plane jane--power nothing, no a/c, manual trans,
300-6. I even had to buy a radio for it. Doesn't sound too desirable? You
couldn't be more wrong! It's a beauty! NO rust, NO dents, good paint
(although not original), engine rebuilt at 100,000 (19,000 miles ago),
rebuilt tranny, new clutch, runs like a champ--and I LOVE IT! I just drove it
on a 500 mile round trip last weekend and it didn't miss a beat. Oil is still
at the full mark. This truck needs very little to be just peachy! I'm hoping
I can make it to a show or two this summer to show it off and compare with
some others--and meet some of you. This is the first Ford of any kind that I
have ever owned (sorry!) so I will be gathering lots of information from you
all.

Mike B.
