Another Midland 400

See, Noodles? I led you along the path, let you show yourself to allt
he world what a ****ing stupid retarded greaseball you are, and now,
having run out of posting ability, can't do a thing about it.

Moron. *******u! Shoulda-been-aborted hemorrhoid!

Papa Noodles disowned Charlie. Cristofo got the property next
door...Noodles got a shack near an unsafe dam!

351M and 400M are 351 Cleveland engines. The "M" stands for "Modified".

The 351C block was modified to accept a 460 CID bellhousing (bolt
pattern change). This allowed the 351 block to be installed in heavy
duty trucks, LTD's, Lincolns and Thunderbirds where 460's were used.

This Crocker guy should know his stuff.

It's common knowledge amongst mechanics, automotive engineers, and
racers, the M variant of the 335 series is merely a raised deck
Cleveland. The entire family has the series number "335"-
351C/351M/400. There is only minor design variations between the C and
M, within that family.

98% of the parts interchange,. between the early C, and later M
variants.

The M actually has a few design advantages. With a higher deck, a
longer connecting rod can be used, improving the rod/stroke ratio. And
a longer stroke crankshaft can also be fitted, making the engine bigger
in displacement.

Hence the 400 CID variant. It's merely an enlarged Cleveland, still
using Cleveland 2V heads.

The hot trick is, put Cleveland 4V heads on the 400M- then you have a
real killer. That is something the factory never did, because by the
mid-1970's, the gas crunch put a dampener on the musclecar market.

Factory ratings don't mean much with these engines- they were rated
dubiously low by the factory, so buyers could get cheaper insurance
rates. They were also fitted with emissions camshafts to pass
emissions laws, and rated with all accessories on, and at the flywheel,
to make the rating look low.

Changing the cam, intake, and carburetor will easily add 100 to 150 HP.
These engines easily make nearly 400 HP with little work. Here's an
Edelbrock dyno test, using a dual plane intake.

The canted valve 335 series head is very efficient. No matter what
engine it's on.

The Edelbrock nomenclature plainly states, 400's with 2V Cleveland
heads, that's how they came from the factory in the early 1970's.

this proves one thing...the liberal from CA. isn't man enough, to admit
when he's wrong
