351w

This might be a dumb question but what is the difference between the 351w and the 351m?? Things for the windsor will not bolt on the modified right??

Same bore and stroke, but the similarities end there.
An "M" is actually closer to a 351C, and is virtually identical to a 400.

actually the 351m was a different block compared to the 351w
i believe it was the deck height and some other things but it is just like the early 400 block and not quite the same as the 351c

geez the same engine family as the 351C so same basic design(not unlike the 302/351W)
the deck height was well is 1.2 inches taller than a 351c
in other w 10.297 inches(same block as 400) from crank ceterline to the deck(reads as BIG) a 302/351w piston will fit in the engine or a 351c but won't work too well

but the lifter(non-roller block) and main bearings are 100% interchangeable but thats bout it between the 351m/400 and 351W
pre 76 mains are full grove post 77 1/2 grove
