Thanks Guys, basically the 400 M is a stroked 351 Cleveland. The 71 LTD had it's engine and tranny completely rebuilt in 2003 by a Ford dealer this guy loved it so much. He put somewhere between five and six thousand miles on it before he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer, and he and his Methodist Minister wife put it in storage in Carlsbad in covered, but open storage. She had been paying the 50 dollars a month storage on it ever since, when she approached me at a small Cafe' in a farming hamlet of 200 about a year ago. I left it in storage, but will make the 260 mile round trip to Carlsbad to bring it home next month. It has never been started since they parked it, the Interior and paint look fine but it can't be registered in Texas,I have the N.M. registration, but to the to the dead man, Etc.. All four tires are dry rotted, but I can turn the engine over by hand. Advice anyone?
