351m to 400....?

hello,
I have a 1978 f100 1/2 ton with a 351 m
the engine has 46,000 original miles.
I want to do the 400 modification... Do I simply put in a set of 400 pistons and a 400 crank? I have a edlelbrok performer intake and a 750 cfm 4barrel carb and im running a gear drive (i just like the sound) what kind of pistons, and what size crank should i use to get some decent power form the engine and get a mean sound i am willing to give up some power to get the sound i want
..this might sound crazy but I dont pull or haul anything with my truck and she is gonna be beautiful when i get her painted.
i will greatly appreciate any help i can get..
Fank Bama

to change a 351m to a 400 you will have to change the pistons, crankshaft, and the harmonic balancer.
