    Anyone catch the new hot rod magazine? There is a nice 400M article, maybe that's not such a bad choice after all.

    I love my 400 oinker! Got it in my 78 150 4x4. True dyno 390 plus horse, 450 torque!

    Smoke tires to the rims if you want! Sounds great and oil pressure 55-60 when hot

    Check out tmeyerinc for great way to build this "pig"

    BIg block torque is the name of the game for 400M. It is the motor of choice for your Bronco rock climbers.

    Haven't read it yet, but I plan to. My '81 pickup has a 400M, but it's not hot rod...

    Page 82 Feb 07 issue, 505 Hp and 565 Tq isn't bad for a pig :) might work good in a Maverick wagon ;)
