Question in the market

i'm in the market for a truck and i have found a 78 f-150 supercab with a 400. what can i expect/look for with this motor? what are some of the draw backs and advantages to this motor? i believe its mated to a factory four speed. and its four wheel drive (a must in my mind). any information will be greatly appreciated!
