I think the last gasp for the 351/m-400 was 81' in the F-250/350

Since it was before my time please excuse me for asking but what was the difference between the windsor and the modified, were they the same block with different stroke or what.

They're totally different engine families that share nothing in common except displacement, you can find lots of info on the web on these engines.

Thanks, I have never really played around with 70's rigs. When it came up I was curious.
