  Ford 335 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 History of the Ford 351M
Ford Engineers developed the 400 engine in response to the new Government pollutions requirements that were to start in the 1971 model year.
Ford decided to discontinue the 390 V8 in the F-100 in 1975 and to discontinue both the 360 and 390 in all light-duty trucks by 1976.
Ford decided to continue to use the 351M as the standard engine in the F-150, 250, and 350 4x4 trucks and to use it as the standard engine in the new Bronco.

 M-Block 351M/400 History
During that period, the M-block 400 was the largest engine available in any Ford 4x4 truck.
The 400 was introduced in 1971 as a longer-stroke variant of the 351 Cleveland, and it would be the last pushrod V8 engine ever designed by the Ford Motor Company.
M-block engines were used in most of Ford’s mid-size to full-size cars and station wagons from 1971 to 1979, as well as in pickup trucks and Broncos from 1977 to 1982.

 The 2005 Ford 400
The race was a tale of two stories for Mark, who struggled in the early going with his No. 6 Viagra® Ford Taurus, radioing to Tryson early on that he did not feel the car was competitive.
He brought his No. 6 Ford down pit road a lap later for a green-flag stop to take on four tires and fuel and Mark was back in second once the field had cycled through on lap 238.
Strong on the long run, Mark spent the next several laps moving in on Mears and appeared poised to take the lead just moments before the caution fell on lap 251, setting up the 11 lap shootout for the win.
