True a truck is a truck not a race car. but don't ask where to find a 70's and 80's chevy pickups. I used to remove boilers from apt buildings when we where done we would take to metal to the scrap yards. At the scrap yards waiting to be unloaded where 90% old chevy pickups 10% old fords never seen any dodges. And thats out of at least 50 trucks.

The 351M/400 was made at the Michigan plant and It hs the same crank jouranls as the 429/460 and and same bell housing pattern. that why '77 and up it was easy to put a 429/460 in F-150 trucks

I just sold a 96 with a 351. It was a great tow truck. I'd put it against a stock 350 chevy if you put a 3500 lb trailor behind them. I wish I'd kept my 96. It is a better truck than my 97 & lots easier to work on.
