351M/400 ??? which one?
How do I tell the difference between a 400 and a 351? Every time I open the hood on one they all look the same and have a sticker on the valve cover saying 351/400m.

your are looking at the engine family if you are seeing 351m/400 there will be another section on the sticker that will say displacement, and it will have one or the other on it without looking at one right now I think it is to the right of engine family.

My truck doesn't have the sticker on it anymore, thats the first place I looked. The VIN says it should be a 351M but the previous owner swears its a 400. I'm inclined to believe him since the carb is from an automatic tranny and I have a 4 speed. How would I tell short of pulling the oil pan?

That's the only way. Because of the angle, you can't even use the old wooden dowel in the spark plug hole trick.

weight and string na na na it hangs.. 
i am thinking 8/32 and monofiliment with a glued knot
wht do you think any one got one of both for experimentation???
i read that on bubba's sight too
oops na na na on me just thought only would work parked sideways on a 30* slope(think this is a 60* engine) it will just ride the clyd wall otherwise
so it kinda might work in the right condions
