Nope. The 351C uses the same pattern as the 351W. The 351M uses the same pattern as the 460.

Motor Mounts

are also differen't. The 351C uses a 2 bolt mount, the same as 289-351W small blocks. The 351M/400 has a 3 bolt pattern unique to these engines. There's more potential with your 351M if it's rebuilt using a 400 crank and pistons.
