So I recently sold my 76 W100 that had a 400ci
I loved it dearly but I found another 76 W100 that 'I thought' was in much better condition.
The first picture is the old 400ci truck I sold.
The rest of the pictures are the 'new to me' w100 - this one came with a 318 rebuilt engine and the matching numbers engine was in the box - owner said he heard it was fine, just tired so instead of rebuilding that one, they found a freshly built 318 and had them put it in.
Story goes, some guy had this truck a long time, with a bunch of other dodges and when he died, his wife sold everything. This guy picked up a few things including the truck which he sold to me. He didnt know much about the truck except it looked real good.

long story short
the engine was F*&C';d - When I looked it over, it was awesome - even the drive - it was good. But by the time I got it home (50 miles) - I noticed oil sprayed all over the hood
I couldn't find the source of the oil so I figured head gasket spilling out - hitting the fan, and spraying about.
Oil stick was half out, and foaming, indicating water in the oil yadda yadda yadda - eventually after getting heads off, seen all the metal pieces around the camshaft - damn
So ... I used the money from selling the old truck to build a fresh 360 for this bad boy
