Not So Pro 3

[Mastermind]

One thing I would like to know, now that we're on the subject out of curiosity's sake. When I used to look at the engine detail decals on the valve cover, it always said 351M-400. How were you supposed to tell which one it was? To be honest Back then I didn't really care, it still went to Ed's zip line place.

The 400 has a 4" stroke. The 351M has a 3.5" stroke. No viable way to tell the difference that I'm aware of.

Hey boss.
Aussies know their way around a Clevo if you're trawling the interweb for info.

They damn sure do !!!!!

If memory serves me right, the deck height is different between the 2 blocks. But don’t take my word for it. I could also just be confusing the 351M and the 351C.

Probably not going to buff out. Wonder if they will drain the water from the crankcase or let it sit.

What engine do those have in them nowadays? I know a lot of the older ones were 5.9 Cummins powered.

The 351M and 400 had a 10.297 deck height.

It’s been 15 years since I was working with that stuff - I’m getting forgetful.

How far does it sink into the silt when dumped overboard in 20' of water?

They were all 400's..
Just like every clown who swapped a 350 into something got it from a Corvette..

Cornfused still.

Everyone probably is.

10 would make it 30th over total.

I could have done that for a lot less $$$ than that driver was paid.

Well Ed.....that depends on the depth and consistency of the silt. Aftermarket.....or OEM silt?

Way to go Hailey. WTF.

Has the silt been inspected anally, I mean annually?

 

[redline4]

This belongs in the intellicarb thread for sure.

Why pay for OEM silt, when you can just change it once a year. Damn silt snobs.

UPS doesn’t have diesel package cars anymore.

Hemi's were cheap in comparison to the only thing that would beat it on the drag strip, the 427sohc. The cost for the parts to do so was another matter altogether and this is what let the Chrysler design stay competitive. So, it's all perspective, I guess.
You can find pretty looking SBC parts in every damn store across this great land. Why we called them dime store motors. With all the other available options left to us back then, it was easier to find the biggest bulk of a motor and stuff it into whatever you could come up with for a body. Those guys with the pretty looking SBCth never stood a chance. We didn't have a lot of money back in the 80th, but we had fun.

When did you start typing with lithp??…
