Help

I have a 79 F250 4x4, with what i thought was a 400m in it. when i went to swap the 2 barrel carb and manifold for a 4 barrel i discovered a problem. Even though the part # on the manifold is correct for the 351/400m the center ports on the intake side of the heads are exposed. The heads are stamped with "M" . What have i got here

Great thats good news. i was told it would leak exhaust thru those ports, but if it won't cause any problems i'll finish puttting it together. Thanks for the info.
