All three have the same bore and stroke but different castings. Some information:

The 351W is related to the 302 and the 351M is related to the 400.

Search through this forum. There are hundreds of threads on the differences between the engines.

Basically the 351C and M are from the same family which also includes the 400. The 351W is a big brother to the 302. The biggest difference is the heads, with the 351C and 351M/400 having large canted valves and the 351W having smaller inline valves.
