Ford V8 Engine Identification article as a guide to and identify the engine. The engine has all the listed features for a Cleveland, it also has the casted *4 on the corner of the cylinder heads. I don’t know if this feature is also true for the 400 though. I have the 400 perches, and I will buy the stock motor mounts for a 302 engine as recommended by Ranchero and Jacksdad. RottenAppleRed, thank you for all the information. I have no idea what transmission I have, I’ll try to identify this upcoming week. Ill PM later on. Thanks again everyone.
I don't see fins on top of the tranny, so like not a C6. Bellhousing is probably removable, making it either a C4 or FMX. If the gear case is aluminum, it's a C4. Put a magnet on it, if it sticks, the case is iron...FMX. Of course this is based on the trans being an automatic. If this is a '70 from a passenger car, it's likely to be an FMX. They are heavy, a little more expensive to build, but very reliable. After all, my stock 300 horse '70 4V was factory backed with one. I opted for the weight loss and was needing to do the swap in a weekend, back in my daly driver days. The FMX is also shorter in length than the C6 and may have fit in the truck where the stock transmission sat.
The header tubes in the pick look like 1 5/8" primary...could either be for 4V or 2V, if made by Dynomax, Cyclone or Blackjack. I almost had the exact style header fitting in my Bump, but didn't want to have to move everything forward.
The intake looks like an Edelbrock Torker 4V or a Wiend X-Celerator 2V. If you find the name or take a wider angle pick, that might help to identify the engine.
The 400 perches are the same as a big block 460. The Cleveland uses small block perches. The mounts in the Jegs link are for the Ranger swap, but we used to use Bump mounts in this swaps, before kits came out. Also, they come in different locations to allow the swapper to locate the engine fore and aft. This may come in handy.
