Foxy Green Foxbody Build

All right, Fox!
Good to see you back.
Aside from Patriot's build thread, it has been a bit boring.
 
It might have been prudent to stack your jackstands on the other side of the barn so your mom doesn't burn them with the stack of firewood you left her. You're a good son.
 
I'm just messing with you all. The cleveland is strong i wouldn't change it if i didn't already have a heap of LS parts i'm not using and also want to run a lock up 4l80e and efi. Carburetors and 3 speed autos are good for race cars, not so much daily drivers that have to haul weight which is what this truck is for

Truck?
Carb and C6 seems fine in my bronco, and it has 40" swampers with stock gears,lol, but it has the 400 in it. Fuel injected gutless 351w got 8mpg, the rebuilt 414 gets 12mpg with 2x the tq
 
And thank fuck clevelands don't run water through the intake because i found all of the intake bolts on mine were barely hand tight. If it had water in it so would the engine. The header bolts weren't much better. After tightening everything and getting it running on petrol it runs very good. The weiand single plane that was already on it and 1" 4 hole spacer i added and the decent tri-y headers it has have to be worth 30hp over stock, but i think it's cammed also

Yepper, no water and no distributor in intake 👍
2v heads ?
You need the 400 for a "work" truck, things make a shit load of low end tq and can get a molnar stroke kit from meyer, all you need is a 351m or 400 block. But I know what you mean about having other available parts
 
Yeah 80's F350, factory australian delivered so it got a 351c with 2v heads instead of the 351/400m

351m/400, there's no such thing as a 400m 😉
The Australian 302c had the closed chamber 2v heads, too bad north America didn't produce any. My 2v heads were 176cc intake runners after a clean up, 4v's are 248cc before touching them

What are the differences between 351c, 351m, 400m?
Decks? Heads? Bell housings? Completely different no interchanges?

The 351m came along in 1975 and is a destroked Ford 400. The 400 started in 1971 and was known as the ford 400, not 400m (10.297" deck). Both engines are the same other than crank stroke and pistons. They use the 3" main like a Windsor so cranks aren't interchangeable with the 351c. The 351m/400 use big block motor mounts and big block bell patterns however there's a rare fmx block that had both bosses for big block and small block mounts and bells. The 351m/400 only came with the smaller 2v heads.
The 351c (9.206" deck) came with both the 2v and larger 4v heads (in open and closed chamber), all are interchangeable, 351m/400 would need a wider intake or spacers to run 351c intakes. Distributor, rockers, timing chain and cover, oil pans etc all interchange. Distributor and rockers are the same as the 429/460 also.
