anyone who says the 400 was the best ford engine dont know there ass from a hole in the ground. that was one piece of dogshit and to top that off, the 1980 was a F-150, thats over 30 years ago.
@mistermamaluigi buddy get your head out of your ass, there never was an f200 in canada or us. maybe in mexico and it was a fuck of alot longer than 15 years ago
@TroyM4x4 they started along time ago with the f150 and 250 before that it was just f1 or f2 and in the 70's the trucks came with different packages and they were listed as f200 and different numbers on the tag like i got a dealor tag for a 79 f250 that list it as a 1979 f253, its a camper special, it was before the packages like laiet and explorer really set in i belive. and yess this is in america AMERICAN MADE BABY!!!!!
Nice truck. Haha these people talking about how this engine isn't the best when they probably never owned or worked on one. You just know they're just repeating something else they heard on youtube!
I have had the 351M, the 400 and the 460 in the same 4x4 truck. The 460 drank more gas but performed much better. You can also convert it into a 429CJ. Just giving some advice.
I run a 351 M in my '79 on 38s. the 351Ms may not be the greatest motors Ford has ever made but they are by no means "piles" . Im up in the 225,XXX mile range. This truck has been workd HARD on our farm since '84 and its reliable as hell! Been hung up once a long time ago bc of the drop hitch haha. I can't even remember the last time it hasn't started/ran well for me.
YA know everyone said the 351 M was a junk motor but I had one and it had plenty of power and I beat the shit out of it and hell it still ran good at a 119,000. miles when I sold it , now my 76 4x4 stepside has a 390 out of a 67 mustang fastback GT it really runs and has almost too much torque with the T18 and 4:10 gears but the only thing it breaks is u joints in the driveshaft.
ford 400 is the best sport engine there is. Nothing packs as much HP and Tork in such a light weight engine, the 4 inch long stroke and that 65lb fly wheel makes this engine pull like a train, more power then you will need in a weekend warrior fun truck, nice sounding too.
also for me 70 model ford trucks are the best looking trucks to this day.
i like the round features as apposed to the chevy look that is all squares and box type design.
ive got 2 brocos 1 with a straight 300 its got alot of power and the other with a 351cleveland witha 11 inch lift and 42 inch tires thats thing badd ass ...!
gotta love stave lake ! spent a lot of time out there, swillin and muddin ! great truck ! looks like fun. If I had buds like him I would of left them watching too.
i have a 1979 f150 with the 351m which is the same motor and it is the best motor i've seen. one winter the radiator froze up and it over heated and oil and antifreeze was puking out the headgasket and that was about 30,000 miles ago and the motor has never been touched and it still runs perfect and will start 20 below without being plugged in. at 156,000 miles it still has balls it pulled a 3020 john deere tractor which is about 8500 pounds with no problem. lets see a chevy fix its head gasket
I'd like to see the videos of your truck and its specs in great detail please. So that way I can form an educated opinion on how much of a flaming piece of shit it is.
@brutforce45 Actually Ford 400's can be built into nice engines. The worst engine Ford ever made was the 255 V8. And its his truck he can put whatever the fuck he wants in it.
@brutforce45 i have a 400 in my 78 dodge d300 and it runs like a cham..plunty of horse power and torque!!! i have 170.000 miles on it and it runs like its brand new!
@brutforce45 actually the 400 has a longer stroke than a 460 their for makes much more torque at alot lower rpm than any 460 but you knew that didnt you cause you a really fart smeller
@brutforce45 man not every one can have a fuckin bullet proof engine some ppl don't got the money for a better motor so just back off man you can make do whats with and he made do with a 400
@brutforce45 400 was by far not the worst motor Ford built. Not even close actually. the 351M was much more a pile. If you could please explain WHY and LOGICALLY it is the worst motor, I am all ears. I ran a 400 in my old ford years ago, great motor, and they will take a beating. I run all 390's now which are great, but there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the 400 that ford built.
Dude, don't let all these haters bug ya. They're just jealous. Too many people think you have to have a big cube engine to make power. I have a 400m in my '77 4x4 and I love it. I also have a 390 FE in my '76 2 wheel drive and it smokes most everything on the roads. If people used their smarts, they would know you can make HP out of anything if you know what you're doing.
the only thing wrong with a 400 or 351M is that the cranks were originally milled backwards so they broke when they got twisted hard. a scat crank and some H beam rods with some dome top pistons and a little head work and a 400 can be nasty. I promise..
400 is by far the best motor to have in a 4x4, dude i gotta 79 bronco and i live 20 minutes from stave,,, when r u gonna be there with that truck again.?
and i'm pushin over 400 horses, can make it chirp from 2-3rd doing 100k
For the love of God, stop calling it a 400m. It's just a 400, the 351M (destroked 400) is the only thing with an M on it.
Nice rig. Alot of 400 haters out there. Stock, there not super great, but not much from this era is. Just so you 460 fanatics know, it only came with 225hp/375ftlbs from the factory in these trucks. Not all that impressive. Anything can be built though, and factory shortcomings can be ironed out of every engine.
nice truck man and the 400m was an amazing motor they was just bad to loose oil pressure thats it i have 3 of them and im only 17 along with a 460 built 540
My 400 has over 160,000 miles on it and has been pulling around a 78 f150 on 35's with a 6in. suspension and 3in. body for over 30 years. I would say that motor is pretty damn good
If emission standards destroyed the engine it was because Ford let it happen just like all of the big 3 did during that time period. It's called engineering and they didn't need to turn the engines into a piece of garbage because of it. Maybe you should check on your history and learn a little of what they did to meet the emission standards.
Allright for all those defending the 400M and calling me stupid and everything else I would like to know how many of you that are doing so are running a STOCK 400M. Now it may not be the worst engine Ford put in an F-series, the 351M was a piece a crap also. Any engine can be turned into something good so stock the M series were junk, modified you can turn it into anything you want.
@darnucks Technically its a 400 not a 400m, only 351m's had the m designation. As far as being a crap motor, an educated person might think so. However, with very little modification they can be made to snort. Three things kill power in stock form on these motors, compression ratio, cam timing and intake/carb. The heads are basically 2V Cleveland's. Good cam + hi comp 351C pistons with the w. pins sized down, intake/carb and a few other things and u got 400hp plus
@darnucks and as far as the big block argument, 4x4 F-series from 73-79 never came with a factory 429/460 only 2wd trucks did. So for the extra cost of swapping in a big block you could put that money into machine work and parts and make a 400 stomp a mainly stock big block. If you have an extra 1500-2000 dollars to build up a big block and do a swap, then more cubes = more power but don't knock a motor just cause it doesn't make 400hp in stock form, neither does a 460!
@bg676 Your right there. Didn't think of that one. The thing is you have to wonder what the big three were thinking those days with the kind of vehicles they were producing. However, my Dad's old 78 F-250 was almost indestructable when it came to the frame, axles and even the transmission (even though it wasn't a piece of art) just wished the engine produced more power for the amount of fuel it sucked up and didn't crap out so often. Stock, please remember that.

Stock, please remember that.
@darnucks my stock 400 w/ 149,000 miles, and three idiot previous owners running the shit out of it, the bearings are bad in the bottom end, and it still smokes my buddies truck, with a healthy 350. there have been people that have built these with the money to be very powerful/ reliable motors. and a friend has a 400 with close to 10.5:1 compression (factory) that twists drivelines without hesitation
Kmon guys, ANY Bblk V8 will do the job, as long as you can do it up and treat it right... Hell, I had a v6 4.0 from my explorer that was done up, It could take on a 351m, with all due respects. It held up fine, Just didn't turn 44's to well.
theres alot of parts now for the 400m! there was a build up of a 400m in a magizine and it made over 500hp! it can be made to be nasty if you wanna spend the money just like anything. if you can make a honda have 500hp you can make a 400m have it too!
SWEET BABY JESUS that is one hell of a truck!!! glad to see someone else out there swears by the almighty 400m Ford!! well built truck my friend, well built!
thats a sick ass truck bro hey man i enjoy the 400 motor and the 460 i enjoy all ford blocks...i use to have a 400 and a 460. both mean ass engines. sick truck again man keep throwin the mudd
400 is a funny motor its the only motor ford made that decade that has a different firing order, mine has been reliable 90 mph droped into second gear and it held but it doesnt make much hp, i would suggest 460,390, or straight 300
@gs233645 My buddies 400 never let him down and he bagged it hard for years then the truck fell apart and he sold the 400 to his friend, now it’s in a 79 bronco getting bagged again, and you didn’t mention the 302. I have a FI 333 in my 79 and it puts out really good made 493 HP on engine dyno and the turbos still not in..... NICE TRUCK TROYM4X4 hope to see you up at stave!
@gs233645 Wake up smart one. 351m, 400 and 351w share the same 13726548 firing order. What the hell does the firing order have to do with anything anyways?
lots. over ten. but you have to understand that there is much more to the truck than just a lift and tires. everything was built/rebuilt to handle abuse and the 44's
@TroyM4x4 You might be lucky then. I know for a fact the M series engines were considered not very good. My father also had a 400M in his 78 F-250 which he use hard both wheeling and carrying a camper, and construction supplies. He went through 4 of them in 10 years and that was with constant maintenance.
@TroyM4x4 Dude, hes right on the money. Money wise the big motors make so much mroe power and are so much cheaper. Your truck does seem to do alright with a 400, if thats what it really has, but whatever floats your boat. Dont come on here cryin when a bbc runs circles around yuh!
@darnucks A 400 has just as much potential as any other motor if you know what you're doing enough to build it up right. Don't talk it if you don't know it bud.
@kayteeohya Potential yes. Every motor has potential unless the block is a piece of crap straight from the factory and that seldom is the case. However, the stock 'M' motors were garbage just read copenhagen56's comment and you'll understand. I can talk about it because I do know, been there done that "bud".
@darnucks Just a post, not an insult. And don't be so defensive.. The 400s problem out of the factory was the overly retarded timing. Change the timing chain and cam and horses JUMP out of the motor. I don't really expect a response, I'm not bashing you. And I'm sorry if it seemed so.
@honda125ford The 390 was a good engine, true enough although the 460 has a much bigger block for you to work with. Best modles made? That comment hardly warrants a reply.
@darnucks really? the 400m was the worst? i dont think so. really a stock 351 is much worse. they are a dog. doesnt take much to make the 400m kick ass. trust me i got one that will pull u out sideways.
@darnucks 400 is NOT the worst engine ford ever made. learn some history about the fact it was made when emissions standards destroyed engines. the 400 is a good engine
hey, i got a couple question for ya, but first love the truck, i got myself a 79 bronco. 1. being that you have a 400 in there is there a rib/fin on the block next to the distributer, i ask cause i need to know if the motor in my truck is a 400 or 351m. and 2. when will it be at stave again.
first question is when are you taking that truck up there again? second quistion, i have a 84 chevy on 44 boggers with a bout 12" lift, front drive shaft angle is really steep... not sure how much longer it will last. would you recomend the dual t case setup like your truck has? or get a built high angle driveline shaft.
Nice truck ya got there

@darnucks my stock 400 w/ 149,000 miles, and three idiot previous owners running the shit out of it, the bearings are bad in the bottom end, and it still smokes my buddies truck, with a healthy 350. there have been people that have built these with the money to be very powerful/ reliable motors. and a friend has a 400 with close to 10.5:1 compression (factory) that twists drivelines without hesitation

Kmon guys, ANY Bblk V8 will do the job, as long as you can do it up and treat it right... Hell, I had a v6 4.0 from my explorer that was done up, It could take on a 351m, with all due respects. It held up fine, Just didn't turn 44's to well.

theres alot of parts now for the 400m! there was a build up of a 400m in a magizine and it made over 500hp! it can be made to be nasty if you wanna spend the money just like anything. if you can make a honda have 500hp you can make a 400m have it too!

400 is a funny motor its the only motor ford made that decade that has a different firing order, mine has been reliable 90 mph droped into second gear and it held but it doesnt make much hp, i would suggest 460,390, or straight 300
gs233645 1 year ago
@gs233645 another 400 hater. i would suggest not dropping your truck into second gear doing 90
TroyM4x4 1 year ago 25
@gs233645 My buddies 400 never let him down and he bagged it hard for years then the truck fell apart and he sold the 400 to his friend, now it’s in a 79 bronco getting bagged again, and you didn’t mention the 302. I have a FI 333 in my 79 and it puts out really good made 493 HP on engine dyno and the turbos still not in..... NICE TRUCK TROYM4X4 hope to see you up at stave!

@gs233645 Wake up smart one. 351m, 400 and 351w share the same 13726548 firing order. What the hell does the firing order have to do with anything anyways?
sivartybrik1130 10 months ago
@gs233645 460 or 390 may make more hp but a straight 300 wouldnt. yeah that can pull but thay make like 125 hp lol
trent1234108 5 months ago
lots. over ten. but you have to understand that there is much more to the truck than just a lift and tires. everything was built/rebuilt to handle abuse and the 44's

I had a 351M in my '86.. Never had any troubles with it. Powerful and reliable.. Sounded almost identical to this truck. Nice ride dude.
dtpchilli4life 1 year ago
The 400m was the worst engine that Ford ever put in the F-series. Way underpowered and unreliable. Much better to have a 429 or 460 .
darnucks 1 year ago
@darnucks did you watch the video? my 400 seems to be doing just fine. its held up to my driving which says alot i think.
TroyM4x4 1 year ago
@TroyM4x4 You might be lucky then. I know for a fact the M series engines were considered not very good. My father also had a 400M in his 78 F-250 which he use hard both wheeling and carrying a camper, and construction supplies. He went through 4 of them in 10 years and that was with constant maintenance.
darnucks 1 year ago
@TroyM4x4 Dude, hes right on the money. Money wise the big motors make so much mroe power and are so much cheaper. Your truck does seem to do alright with a 400, if thats what it really has, but whatever floats your boat. Dont come on here cryin when a bbc runs circles around yuh!

@darnucks, the 400 has a great block, it just could use some different heads and it wakes right up. They are great torquey boat pullin motors.
123ewq 1 year ago
@darnucks did you also know that the ford 351m/400 is the only motor that off idle the horse power and torque curve go down LMAO
copenhagen56 1 year ago
@darnucks A 400 has just as much potential as any other motor if you know what you're doing enough to build it up right. Don't talk it if you don't know it bud.
kayteeohya 1 year ago
@kayteeohya Potential yes. Every motor has potential unless the block is a piece of crap straight from the factory and that seldom is the case. However, the stock 'M' motors were garbage just read copenhagen56's comment and you'll understand. I can talk about it because I do know, been there done that "bud".
darnucks 1 year ago
@darnucks Just a post, not an insult. And don't be so defensive.. The 400s problem out of the factory was the overly retarded timing. Change the timing chain and cam and horses JUMP out of the motor. I don't really expect a response, I'm not bashing you. And I'm sorry if it seemed so.
kayteeohya 1 year ago
@darnucks your dumb tha m modles were the best modles made. and 460 sucks a 390 is where its at they have more horse stock then a 460
honda125ford 1 year ago
@honda125ford The 390 was a good engine, true enough although the 460 has a much bigger block for you to work with. Best modles made? That comment hardly warrants a reply.
darnucks 1 year ago
@darnucks really? the 400m was the worst? i dont think so. really a stock 351 is much worse. they are a dog. doesnt take much to make the 400m kick ass. trust me i got one that will pull u out sideways.
Bowtiesare4lilboys 1 year ago
@darnucks 400 is NOT the worst engine ford ever made. learn some history about the fact it was made when emissions standards destroyed engines. the 400 is a good engine

hey, i got a couple question for ya, but first love the truck, i got myself a 79 bronco. 1. being that you have a 400 in there is there a rib/fin on the block next to the distributer, i ask cause i need to know if the motor in my truck is a 400 or 351m. and 2. when will it be at stave again.

GeaserakaErik 2 years ago
to answer questions: it had about 17 inches of lift, way too much.
if you plan on just a mud truck then go for a high angle shaft. if you plan to use it for other stuff then go for a doubler

first question is when are you taking that truck up there again? second quistion, i have a 84 chevy on 44 boggers with a bout 12" lift, front drive shaft angle is really steep... not sure how much longer it will last. would you recomend the dual t case setup like your truck has? or get a built high angle driveline shaft.
