You're going to have a difficult time dropping a 351M in there. You'd be much better off going with a 351W.

the 302 and the 351M have different motormounts and bellhousings, try stick to motors that were offered in the car from factory. (like a windsor)

a windsor will bolt up to mostly everything except you'll need to take the pullies and accessory bracketry because of the increased deckhight. (also the throttle linkages are different, but that's an easy fix) I don't think you'd have to upgrade your rad for an extra 51ci
