So you think the regular bellhousing for a toploader or c4/5 etc. wouldn't fit?
Where could I find info on motor mounts for this kind of swap?
This is why I'm looking for a link related to a swap into a fox. I'm sure it's similar to the big block swaps.

I wonder if some of you read my initial post all the way through?

I'll quote myself here...
Another point here-

What they made stock is irrelevant, it's what I could do with it! They were chocked down for smog just like the early 80s 302s!

I'd have to invest money into my tranny situation anyway since

Remember the act of "getting" this motor, just requires me taking it home. It's free. As far as I can tell motor mounts, tranny, possibly driveshaft?, probably a hood, would be the only things that require change.
I can read websites just like you guys, so you don't need to retype info about these motors that I've already read.
I need some info on swaps into foxes!!!!!
I really appreciate the info guys, please keep it coming. Thanks again for the help!

our machinist said not to instal the m, it makes only 150hp and has a defect in which the main does not lube properly and spins bearings alot, nor is it made to rev.


it needs 351 w swap headers, oil pan , motor mounts , lower intake manifold, power steering bracket and distributor/gear.


search 351w swap on here.

The 400 M is a tall deck Cleveland engine (335 series). The motor mounts are the same as a 302(5.0). The transmission is the same as a 302. This is a torque type engine. The oil pan is the same as a 351 Cleveland. Good luck.

C6 bolts up to the 351M, thats all i know, that and the fact youll be disappointed..............

I would definataly stick with your 302 or get a 351 windsor.Im pretty sure in71 when the 400 came out in bigger family cars and had a decent amount of power that year but then from then on it was down to like a 150. Like someone said they loose oil pressure fast because of there lower end and there cranks dont usally last past 150,000 miles if that .

Yeah I have a 400 in my full size 78 bronco and it does win races against other pickups and hondas even with the 4 inch lift and 35 inch tires but the aftermarket is so small for these motors that it is not cost efective to throw one in your fox. Edelbrock JUST came out with a set of heads for them and they cost around 900 dollars a piece! My suggestion would be to sell it and use that money to buy a windsor!
