I'm pretty sure most of you know that all you got to do is look up a dude named Richard Holdener with the video called "The Other Guys" 400 M build. He built a pretty serious engine over 500 hp out of a 400M.

We just installed our rebuilt 351m/400 in my wife's 1979 F-250 Ranger XLT CS. Phil Cook@C&C Performance in Duncan, OK did the rebuild. Bored 0.20, crankshaft turned 0.20, Edelbrock Performer Ford 400 intake manifold with a Holly, built 650 Brawler, Compcam FC260H-10, and all new internals. Just fired it up for the first time in 21 years and she sparked on the first turn of the key. Super excited and now on to the muffler shop for some nice sounding duals.

I have a low mileage 400m big block in my bronco, I was gonna convert it into a 300cui v6 so I can get a balance between torque and fuel economy (and modify the 4 speed to have an integrated 2 speed gear splitter so I have 8 gears with overdrive) but if I can get good gas mileage out of a 6.5l v8 (8mpg as it is already, hard pass) then that's cool. Then again I can just de stroke it to a 3.5" stroke and get 351cui. who knows? I'll find out soon enough.
