7500 RPM ? Not with the stock rods. With Eagle or better rods, yeah. And GOOD springs. And Balance. Oil system is the same as a cleveland so it's not gonna wanna go that high, and, and....................................

. . . . and 1 hp/cu in out of that whale is a lot of blubber!!!


Hey, Vic! Why don't you do something really wild? . . like the 400M for Q/SA at a svelte 4590 lbs?

Same carb(1.21)/valves(2.06)/intake and lift is like .406 to .428 compared to the 351M so I think it'd be better.

There ya go...351M, as a Landau..U/SA!

351 blueprints under 9:1 compression; 400 is 9.7. 50 more cubic inches.

OK. Both the 351M & 400M use the same size 2bbl (1.686/1.21 ) the same heads with the same valves. The 351 has a little over 8 1/2:1 compression & the 400M a little under 9 1/4:1. Yeah the cams are different but with what cam grinders can do these days, I think that's pretty much a wash. (probably wrong).

The 75 & 74 460"s The valves, cams are the same the compression's are similar But as Billy reminded us:

& It seems Mr.Graham does pretty well with the combo in Super Stock

351vs400 I just figure with the same top end the smaller cubes it's got to be fed better. Same as a 302 is ok but the 351W is a pig cause it uses the same head/valves.

50 cubes in that case is a detriment not a bonus.
A point in compression is obviously nothing to sneeze at either, but there are more factors in the 351's favour than the 400's.

The 460 is just cool regardless
