Back in 1984 I was 16 and took a summer job at a Marina wrenching on inboard and outboard motors. The boss man had a late 70's Mercury Marquis I think, it was a great big ol' sumbich of a car at any rate was powered by a 351M-400. He always said he had a "400 Michigan" in his car. Which I thought odd and never believed or heard this before or since. What I have heard on numerous occasions is the M stands for a "Modified" 351 Cleveland turned into a 400. Which if true would make Ed's theory the correct one and the 351M-400 moniker make some sense, there only was one motor, the 400.

Dang, 16 in ‘84? Are you even old enough to play with chainsaws and cars?

I got married in 86.

I got married in 83 the first time, 20 years old.

I got married a month before my 22nd birthday.

Afternoon all. In full slack mode, likely the only day all season that we aren’t running somewhere.

Temps cooling down again, a couple days os melting and there is some grass showing in areas.

First off.....there is no 400M.

In 1971 Ford built the 400 as a tall block Cleveland engine. Then, they destroked it to create the 351M.

Same block, but two different displacements. Saving money was the goal here.....while also replacing the FE engine.

The 400 has the longest stroke of any Ford engine ever built, and is capable of making stupid amounts of torque at low rpm.

We called them a 351 Windsor. Like a larger 289. The Cleveland with 4-bolt mains was the big boy of the 2.

I can second that, had a new GE washer that was broken constantly. Turned out it was built in China junk. Only reason I bought it was I thought it was a good American brand. Pfft, so much for that. Replaced it with a Speed Queen and the troubles went away.

SQ…no electronics at all. Just old fashioned spin dials and switches. We’ve had ours for decades.

We don't hardly ever see the ground freeze, so we aren't as muddy. The cold enough to make the ground frozen a foot thick, makes a mess when the top layer thaws. We don't have that problem. We have meth problems.

The 351 Windsor is an entirely separate engine family.

That was the final straw when it needed a new circuit board.
