Question Which motor

Ok I need opinions.I have a 1960 p/u going on a 77 4x4 frame.Now what is the prefered motor, I have a 400m(bad crank) and a 352 built like a monster(twisted original frame when I lifted front wheels off the ground)I,ve heard the 400 has some oiling and reliability problems. The 400 would be the easy install since it came out of the 77(I'm using complete running gear from 77) Is there a better option 351C ???tell me what you think. more info-3/4 ton 4x4 long bed (heavy) for serious mountain/pulling/working Thanks everybody.

Which motor

If you have the "Good" 400, there can be a lot done with it, very strong, lotsa torque.

To tell which is the good engine.
WARNING do not use the term "400M"!
