I had a 79 with a 400m. What i know about these 79 M-engines is that they are heavily smogged out and pretty well gutless. Im not a big fan. But they are pretty reliable and will get the job done as most fords do. I have read that you can hook up trannys from 460s to em never done it so i cant attest to the accuracy of that.
