Since the 351M/400 bare blocks were all cast as 351's, how can you determine from the casting number it's a 400?
You cannot. When finished, the block could be a 351M, or a 400.
Casting numbers are worthless in most cases for ID'ing what the engine size is.
The casting number should read D7TE-6015-AB2 not AB5 .. since the block was cast in 1977.
