All 335-series engines use the same 8-bolt valve cover design.
Early 400s ('71-'74) used the same painted steel valve cover as
351C 2V and most 351C 4V engines. The early style covers have
the
“Power by Ford” logo stamped in the top.
When Ford introduced the 351M in the 1975 model year, the
M-block
painted steel valve cover was re-styled with the Ford oval
design
stamped in the top. The later style valve cover was used on all
351M/400 applications until M-block production ended in 1982.

covers.

Engine and transmission mounts
The M-block engine mount’s functional design (i.e., attachment
to
the block and frame brackets) never changed from the original
400
design in 1971, but there were various improvements in
materials
and engineering details over the years.
The following table lists service part numbers for M-block
engine
mounts. These mounts can be used on any car or truck 351M/400
application.

Flywheels and flexplates
All M-block (351M and 400) engines used in cars were equipped
with
automatic transmissions. The only M-blocks equipped with manual
transmissions were the truck engines used in F-series pickups
and
Broncos, starting in the 1977 model year. Therefore, all
M-block
flywheels are truck parts.
When the M-block was introduced in trucks, the 351M and 400 had
different flywheel parts to accommodate different sized clutch
disks. The 351M was equipped with an 11" diameter clutch disk,
and
the 400 was equipped with a 12" clutch disk. Both flywheels
were
the same diameter and used the same ring gear. The only
difference
between 351M and 400 flywheels was the set of holes drilled and
tapped for the clutch pressure plate.
Note: Both 351M and 400 engines have the same 28 oz-in
crankshaft imbalance, so all M-block flywheels have the same
balancing counterweight, and they can be interchanged without
vibration or balance problems.
After M-block production ended in 1982, Ford re-engineered the
M-block flywheel to accommodate both engines with one part.
The current M-block flywheel service part (E5TZ-6375-H) has
holes drilled and tapped for both 351M and 400 pressure plates.
When the 351M was introduced in 1975, it used the same
flexplate
as the 400. When M-block engines were introduced in trucks, the
truck engines equipped with automatic transmissions used the
same
flexplate as the car engines.
The following table lists part numbers for M-block
flywheels and flexplates.
