My Pa is the one that ordered this truck with the 400 and an RV cam.

Personally...it's a muscle car engine, I think. Emphasis on car.

Give me a 390 any day. Bulletproof and versatile.

My dream truck is a 67-72 F-100 shortbed fleetside with a 300 6 and a C5 transmission.

I'll never find one...finding a shortbed fleetside is tough. I suspect a bunch were turned into truckbed trailers.

That 300 Six was more powerful than the 305 and pulled a P/U truck like no other engine. I liked it a lot.

I worked for a tree-trimming outfit whose wood chipper was powered by the same engine/intake/exhaust/carburetor set up. Lovely engine with room to tweak a bit.
