1980 F350 Rat Rod in Quebec

Although the style of this truck is not to my personal tastes, it is wildly popular these days. It's got a real nice looking 351M in it.

Actually, although I can't read French I think it has a 400 in it. I think the gentleman is one of the confused people that think that a 351M and a 400 are one and the same. But the fact that he says 6.6L shows it really is a 400. And, it looks good.

But, I agree with you, the rat rod look isn't my favorite.

Can you tell from the pic what engine it is? I know nothing about them...in case that's a dumb question...lol.

Not between a 351M and a 400. The only difference is in the crankshaft's throw (3.5" vs 4.0") and the pistons. All else is the same.

But, he said 6.6L, and that's a 400. However, he doesn't know that there's a difference between a 351M and a 400 from what he wrote, so....

Interesting!

I noticed down toward the bottom of the ad it says 351M. May have added it later after questions came in.

On edit it says this, Moteur V8 6.6 351M 400 à gaz

Uhhhhhh...

Yeah, that's why I'm saying it is a 400, which is 6.6 liters. But many guys seem to think the engine is a "351M 400". I'm not sure why as they were two different engines, but the label on the radiator support did mention both, regardless of which one was in the vehicle.
