Anybody got a pic of a 351M? Is this one?

[TexasBronco]

Yeah if you got one ...post. Also what would need to be done to get a 351M to be half way decent for daily driver, and medium off roading?

:-[Is there anybody willing to post a few of my pictures? I will email them to you and you post them.I can't seem to get it to work :-[

Your picture is not posted, But here is my 351C, Take a good look on the surface where the water outlet and the distributor mounts to. This where a 351M will look different. Email those pics to me, I'll see what I can do.

The water neck on a 351M will be on the block and not on the intake manifold like the 351W. You can also tell by the number of bolts holding the valve covers on. all the 351 engines (M,W,C) all had a different number f bolts. I can't remember how many the M had. I'm sure somebody on here knows though.<br> Don

351M/400 and 351 Cleveland have same number of valve cover bolts because they share the same basic head. The 351M/400 have the same blocks, based on the cleveland but with a taller deck and the 351W main bearing journals (guess where all those 351W stroker cranks are coming from?) The only difference in the two are the crank (400= 4.00 stroke/351M=3.50 stroke) and the pistons. Anyone who rebuilds a 351M without making it a 400 is rather foolish, in my opinion. If it looks like Madgyvers Cleveland, then it may be an M- it's certainly not a Windsor, which resembles a 302.<br>
