as long as it is a 351m motor and not a 351 windsor motor. the 351m/400 shared the same bolt pattern as the 429/460 while the 351 winsdor is different.

thanks a bunch on that firing order and rotation. seems to have an extremely hot exhaust temp shortly after start up. i think timing is retarded too far may be running too rich too
