im looking for an old 400 to rebuild in lower mich. My 77 has a 351 now, i want to swap to a 400,i know i can build my 351 into a 400 but i want to be able to drive it while im building a 400 this winter. THANKS

 

here a couple for sale in SE mich
Ford 400M and C6 transmission
1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 Ford truck parts

 

Your sig says 351M, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the M shared bell housing pattern with the 429/460 as well? Any reason your not considering that engine?

 

my truck has a 351m, i want to start building a 400 while im driving it. I may go with a 460 but i dont want to revamp my exhaust and anything else comes along. The 351m is not enough,the 400 will do all i want plus not add nose weight.

 

I have a couple. One needs rebuilding and one is on a stand with a fresh short block. HV Melling pump, mild RV cam, bored, Clevite 77 bearings. In west Michigan near Muskegon.

 

I can't imagine the weight being that big a factor, there is only about 150# difference between the 460 and the 400m.

As they say, there is no replacement for displacement........

 

That's why I buy 30 packs.

 

Now if they could just do the 30 packs with the bigger (16oz) pistons in stead of the 12oz ones.....

 

You can get 18 cylinder packs with tall boys... 288 cubic ounce displacement. My 30 cylinder, although smaller pistons displaces 540...

 

Who knew that Chrysler made a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_A57_multibank for tanks?

 

That should bolt into a Jeep then, plug and play right?

 

i drag raced for 28yrs,the last 7 in a pro class,weight is everything to me,150lbs is a lot. A mild built 400 can produce as much tqr as a stock 460, built with the right parts a bit more. Ive had smaller NOS engines putting out more HP than some of my lager C.I. (706ci) NOS engines. Displacement is not always the deciding factor.

 

Got a line on a good running 400, cammed, and new Pistons a few years ago. Edelbrock carb.

What's it worth to you? I might be buying the whole bronco

 

what is it worth IYO? If you want me to put a price on it,then hows $100.? Long story short but im suppose to have one coming from ohio, but its been a month so i have no idea. If you are into 460's i may have some stuff that interest you, new moroso rear sump oil pan with pick up thats new,the 2 cost me almost $500.,i have 2 bare blocks one is a cj/scj,the other standard block. Brand new timing chain cast cover that was $100.,and 1 set of heads. I have all part#'s if needed, just want that stuff out of my way.. THANKS Bud

 

sorry i missed your reply,thread kinda got cluttered up. How much for the one that needs rebuilding?
