351M and 400 are practically identical. The 400 is just a stroked 351.

I read that the 400 is a really high end torque motor. But why would ford only put a two barrel carb on it?

Ok guys I need help, I put a new solenoid on, new ignition switch and I'm still getting power to the starter at the Run position and when it does start it won't disengage the starter.

Gotta be the starter then. That's the only thing left in the system.

How many cables does the starter have coming off of it? Mine only has one? And that's a Ten Gauge wire straight from starter side of starter relay.

It's not hard at all to do, I went and bought 1/8 drill bits just so I had fresh ones that I knew cut and it was quick and easy.

Did you just space the lights out, drill holes in the roof, run the wires and seal it all up and call it a day?

Those look really good. Nice Work!!
