How do you tell

Is there a way to tell the difference btween a 351m and a 351w. Can't find no numbers. Somebody said once the distance between 2 bolts at the top of the bell housing
Thanks

The 351M has eight bolts on the valve covers, the 351W has six.

351W fuel pump bolts on side to side bolt pattern, 351M bolts up and down {vertical}. Tstat housing bolts to intake on a 351W and it bolts down to the block {in front of the intake manifold} on a 351M-400 engine. Bell housing bolt pattern is the same as a 300 six, 289,302,251C on a 351W. On a 351M-400 the pattern is the same as a "385" series big block {429-460}.
