engine mounts on 400
« on: February 27, 2013, 04:29:06 PM »
Do any one know if the 400m have the same
engine mounts as the smallblock/Cleveland
I have oportunity to trade a 400 i have for a
410 FE. But to reach the 400 i have to shovel
a lot of snow i front of the barn i have stored
it in. And move a lot of good to have parts
just to see what kind of mounts it have.
Or better if any one can tell what it takes
to swap the 400 in place of the 410
 in a 64 Mercury

I havent touched a 400 in 20 years but my memory says no.I believe the block is drilled and tapped like a FE but different pattern..90 % of all the 400's use the 385 series bellhousing,There are a few that are dual drilled with the windsor pattern as well...

In stock configuration I would not trade a brand new 400 for a worn out 410..
Alot of work for disapointing results
