The 400M is based on the 351C which is a small block.

Just a heads up...there is NO engine designation by Ford Motor Company regarding a "400M". It's just a plain old 400 cu.in. displacement engine.
In mass production, they were assigned 2v aspiration (due to EPA/Fed) emission requirements), and in Special Vehicle Order, they were optioned in 4v for severe service applications.
