My dad ran a 400 in his race truck back in the 90's at our local dirt track. All he did was put an RV cam, D2 2V Cleveland heads on it, Weiland high rise intake, 650 Holley 4 bbl, set of long tube hooker headers, and it was running like a scalded ape, and running with those bowtie boys that 2x as much money and maybe 2x the power, and as soon as we got the set up right with the twin I beam suspension we were hard to beat. Definitely an underrated engine

The biggest handicap with those 400s are the giant dish having, humongous valve relief, compression robbing pistons. If you want to get some power out of one of those you’ve got to get some flat top pistons in it. Also just an FYI there is a 2 quart Ford filter Motorcraft part number FL 299.

But we worked within Chris's budget and this was the best bang for the buck and it gives a great platform to build off. The next upgrade will be his ignition system, then to exhaust, and after that, if he wants we can upgrade to an efi system. And I feel that is important stuff that people need to look at when spending money on their builds. Getting that solid foundation and then building off that platform.

It’s running 11.8:1 using Cleveland pistons with the wrist pins sized down combined with the block being decked. That and a edlebrock street master single plenum intake. The most embarrassing thing for people that get left in the dust is that it’s on propane and is runnng a mild RV cam 🤣. In 4x4 on dry pavement it will hop 4” off the ground when you stomp on it. I cracked the carrier housing on the 9” grabbing 3rd.

The truck here is a C6 truck and didn't have a manual in it. Sorry we don't have a video on doing a conversion from automatic to manual.

we had to run the adapter as well. I don't know if the availability of them has gotten better but it was a pain to buy ours when we did it.

Almost forgot, with headers, new exhaust. 3 inch, 3 inch out of the headers into a 3 1/2 inch (y pipe, driver side crosses to passenger where the trany mount would be) from y connector to muffler (3 1/2 inch all the way out)must be 3 feet!!! This exhaust will bring everything together!!!!

I would just run the Edelbrock performer. Its a very solid intake. You may run into a problem getting one unless supplies have got better.

Great build really enjoyed watching the video 💪👍♥️ just one problem I thought around 490 lift cam as about as high as you can go with a stock 400 valve springs in the OEM heads?????? And the specs on this Isky cam is 5'10 so wouldn't that pose a problem & cause valve float?

Hey buddy just out of curiosity but is that 600cfm carburetor big enough for that 400?? I used to have a 1TON 2wd dullay that had a 400 in it!! It had a dump box on it and a 8’ snow plow on it also I had a 750cfm Holley carb on it and it ran awesome!! No hesitations or any issues with it!! And man when I seen it was 2wd and had a snow plow on it I was like well I better make sure I have plenty of chains and a couple snow shovels for when I get stuck!!! Lol!! But after putting 2tons of sand in the dump box I would hit snow drifts that were taller than the truck!! I might have had to back up and hit the drifts again to get threw but that truck was an animal and I absolutely loved it even though I’m definitely not a Ford guy I’m a big big Chevy fan!! I’m actually been looking for a decent 1969-1972 Chevy blazer to buy??? If you have or no of any that are in decent shape and heck it doesn’t even have to have a motor but I would definitely like one that is set up for a manual tranny??? Let me no buddy please!!!!??? Awesome video once again!!!

So with the cam we did and talking to ISKY it supports a 600 cfm or more. Chris does use his truck as a daily driver and he doesn't throw much of a load in it so it will fit his needs. If at any point he needs way more grunt it wouldn't be hard to swap up to a 750 and resell this 600. Very good question though. Also ill let you know if I do run across any of them blazers but I do know the 69-72 are a lower production but still a decent mount of them out there.

we don't. I really hate the valley pan built-in gasket. They just end up rusting out and then all material ends up going into your engine.

@@PaperBeatsRock I agree I hate them. I thought their purpose was to keep the hot oil from hitting the intake though?

I did a similar 351m but did some mild port work with an Edlebrock performer cam with a little more advance from adjustable cam gears. Custom curve GM type distributor. Cleaned up inside of exhaust manifolds and put single 3" exhaust in front of rear axle. Easily pulls past 5000rpm. Awful close to 300hp
