Can you post up your full VIN? 351w was not at option so I'm curious to see now you are coming up with that.
The 351m and 400 are basically the same thing other than stroke. In my opinion, if you are going to have one or the other than you might as well go with the extra cubes.

The Cleveland was discontinued from Ford truck use after 1974. You are correct you have a 351, it is 351 modified. Also known as the 351m. I also confirmed this with my literature and it confirmed it.
I have both engines, and they are impossible to differentiate between them, as they only differ in stroke.

Ford never disclosed what the "M" stood for, despite all the rumors. To this day no one has been able to produce any actual Ford literature stating otherwise.
