Forum Guidelines
In the interest of promoting harmony and civil discourse in this forum it has been decided that there are a couple of guidelines that all posters to this forum should follow:
1. Avoid discussing the meaning of the letter "M" in 351M. It has been discussed to death over the years and while I'm sure there are some of us who would dearly love to know what FoMoCo had in mind when they tagged it on to the end of the C.I.D. it has led to some very heated discussions which have never ended with any concrete answers. If someone actually comes up with a definitive answer and can back it up with actual evidence then we will be happy to post the results.
2. Avoid speculation on whether the 351M/400 is a "big block" or "small block". These are generic terms which generally apply to Ch*vy motors not our beloved blue oval mills so they really have no place in this group. The 351M/400 has elements relating to both the 385 series and the Windsor series and attempting to categorize them is futile, especially when using monikers which FoMoCo never adopted.
T.I.A. for your cooperation.
