I sit here an Salivate over those heads, every so often I'll go to there web page, But I can't get up the nerve to order a set. Even tho my DTDyno Says I'll make over a 1000 H.P. with them, I don't know if my 2 bolt bottom end could handle all the power.

By the way, the trend that I've seen in that link is that the letter before the part number would be indicative of the engine application. More directly, the manufacturer thereof.
I.E.- SB=small block(you know what!)
BB= big block (naturally!)
M= Mopar
F= Ford
P= Pontiac
B= Buick
The only listings for A 400 cu in engine are; Mopar, Pontiac, And definitely last- Small Block Ca-Ca.
Just an observation.

I disagree My machinist has told me if I want a 4Bolt main 400 it's one of the first things we have to do after filling the block with bloc hard. You get a set of caps from a 351C 4Bolt main block And you have to have them rebored to the 400's Mains size and drill the Block for the other bolts.
But here's some stuff I learned over the year. 4Bolt main with the bolts straight up seems to make the block a little weaker where splayed caps are Much stronger.
But so far my 800 H.P. 400 seems to be holding together pretty good with just the APR Studs and my Altered 351W Main Girdle.

how much did you have to alter the 351W girdle?
was it the type that's "missing" the side by the oil pump, or the kind that makes an arc around it?
any idea if the re-work would have been less severe with a stock crank vs. your stroker?
thanks!

I agree that 4 bolt main caps could be fabricated for the 400 but I doubt you'll find any on eBay any time soon...I was simply trying to say that Ford never made a stock 4 bolt 400.
