Monday 8:00 Am

 

That appears to be an EFI fuel system. Can't wait to see the numbers.

 

3:00 and all is well. Running, some minor tuning and we will have some numbers shortly.

 

Beautiful looking engine, glad she's running good, let us know the numbers on it.

 

I am old school so don't laugh to hard. but what engine did ya start with to get the 434?

 

Torque 518
HP 481

first pull with 20 ignition, and a crappy dist. (mine)

 

That is a Ford 400 motor. It is bored +0.030" and stroked to 4.25". The heads are CHI-3V alloys. The above dyno plot was with a carb (size ?). The EFI runs will come later.

 

I knew the M's Had it in them but never thought any one would do it. especially with all the other options out there. MY hat is of to you. (infact I haven't seen my hat all day) Nice looking Modified hope it dose you well.

 

400 isn't an M. 351M is though. yea, look around the forum and search builds- 400 has a history of greatness as of late.

Tim...what distributor are you referring to?

 

looking good

 

351/400M on valve cover. Is there another 400?

 

Look again it should say 351M/400

And thats some pretty good preliminary numbers on that engine, nice job.

 

Ford only gave letter designations to the various 351's as in 351C 351W 351M and then they changed the numbers on the 4th engine with the same bore/stroke combo AKA the 352.

Looking good Dan and Tim! When you get her all tweaked I know you will post some good numbers!

What are the black and purple lines? I can't read the designations.

 

Actually Eric to be perfectly correct the 352 is not the fourth engine with that bore stroke, it's the first.

Oh and technically they are closer to 352cid anyway the actual displacement mathematically is 351.86.

 

Yeah it was the first one produced! Little brother to my mighty 390!!!

And to be technically correct my 390 was closer to a 396 when punched. Same B/S as a Chevy 396. Mine ran better tho!
