Ford 335 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1742 words)
The 400 uses the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the 385 family big-block to make it compatible with the higher torque-capacity C6 transmission used on the large cars and trucks.
To replace the 390, Ford took the 400 engine's tall-deck block and de-stroked it, with a shorter throw crankshaft and taller pistons, to produce a 351 cubic inch (5.8 L) engine whose components were largely compatible with the 400.
Ford decided to simply scrap the M-block engines and replace them with updated 351 Windsor engines at the small end, and a combination of the 6.9 L Navistar diesel and the 460 at the top end.
