the hamb doesn't remember my sign on, but then again it's been a couple years. And of course I can't remember the password, lol. I just wanted to ask about the D5OP bell for the C4, and it's application. It's good info for the not-so-Ford-diehards.

351M is a designation to seperate it from the 351C and W. the 400 has no M. Coincidentally, the letter M falls half way between the letters C and W.
the 400 and 351M are the same except for the crankshaft and pistons. harmonic balancer too.

Then in a couple of service bulletins Ford referred to the 'M' engines and the terminology has been screwed up ever since.
I was old enough to be driving when the 400 first came out alone. There was no M about it. It made very respectable HP until it was smogged in '72.
Look at the valve cover sticker of every one of these engines and you'll see they read 351M/400.
So it's semantics and guys will keep arguing about that M.
