I had thought for years that this would make a good combo but had been talked out of it. So I emailed the guy, this is what he said: The few that did embrace the 400 did well with it. I guess my question was more "rhetorical" (did I spell that right ?). Well if I was racing that engine, I sure as hell would not opt for a 351 over a 400, and give up 50 free cubes ! That's like running a 400 Pontiac, instead of a 455 Pontiac on the street. Being a GM guy, I've taken 455 Pontiac low compression engines with 2-barrel carbs, and warmed them over with heads/intake/4bbl/headers/cam/converter/gearing and made tire shredders out of them.įor some reason, no one wants to do that with a Ford 400. Been doing this now since 1982.īut the one thing I could never understand, is why Ford guys knock the Ford 351M/400. I've built a ton of engines in my life, over 60 different motors- Ford-Buick-Chevy-Mopar-Pontiac-Olds-both small and big blocks of various makes. Why not just drop 4V Cleveland heads on the 400- or put the larger C valves in the M heads. I've owned a pair of Cleveland closed-chamber 4V heads, but sold them after checking them out.
