I'd take the 351M, stroke it to a 400, mate it to a C6 automatic, put a Cloyes True Roller timing set, a Comp Cams 265DEH, Crane roller rocker conversion set and Crane roller rockers, a Weiand 8010 intake with a Demon 625 Carburetor.

Ok, I found a '79 351W powered p/u. Is this a good engine or no? I have heard that the nickel content went down around this time and in doing so it made the motor crap. That some need constant rebuilding every 5k. So any info would be cool.

Whomever told you that is an idiot...
A few blocks were cast higher nickel, but they were all plenty strong.
Unless that truck had the 351W put in, its not a 351W.
The W is a good motor, and lot of performance parts can be had for such a jewel.
