Need some help with Info C vs M
OK I found a motor being advertised near me that says
" seventy something 351 M + c4 trans out of a 73 mustang "
now I talked to the guy + he said some guy he knew told him it was a 351M, but as far as I know those never came in a mustang? of course it could be a transplant? did M's come with c4's? or can you bolt a c4 to a M?
now I think it is a Cleveland, did clevelands come with big block bolt patterns for the trans or small block pattern? What is my best way of Identifying this Motor as to what it is? M? or Cleveland? Boss 351? or Cobra Jet? he wants $250 for both, + I might pick it up? but I want to know what it is, it is supposed to be a running motor? but who knows?, it might be a good source of some good parts running or not?? , I want to build something cool in the future so any help would be great!, Thanks Guys Have a Merry One!!! .....Rick

On the 351C the intake manifold sits about level with the Tstat housing flange. On a 351M/400, the intake manifold is about 1 inch above the Tstat flange. This is because the 351M/400 have a 1.1 inch taller deck height.
The 351M/400 never had a factory 4 barrel carb. If it has a factory 4 barrel manifold, it is a 351C. The manifolds do not interchange directly between these motors.
