Should be a 351M in those years. But if it's got a 4 bbl and it is, it would most likely be an aftermarket intake. There are rumors of a 4 bbl factory 351M/400, but one has yet to come to light. I've seen one 4 bbl factory 400 in a junkyard in the mid 70's, wish I'd have known then how rare it was. In any case, some one could have just as likely put a 351W in a 302 truck too. Look at the valve cover bolts, the Cleveland has 8 bolt covers, the 302/351W have 6 bolts. Fuel pump bolts are vertical on the Clevelands & 315M/400's where all others are horizontal. Thermostat housing is also bolted to the front of the block on the 351C/351M/400, instead of the intake manifold.

351?
This is a railroad truck so i'm almost positive that it is stock as the day that it was purchased, going to pick it up next week so I guess i'll find out then what it is. Its to cheap to let get away and a small block will be alot more rational in my 68.

'82 was the last year for the "M".......
351HO (Windsor) is my guess also.
No 351 HO with 4bbl (Windsor or Cleveland) in a Mustang after around '73.
There was a '95 Cobra R Mustang with a 351W.....but, of course, it was EFI.

After a 350 mi. trip one way! My question is answered it's a 351W factory 4brl. in a 1986 3/4 ton truck. I think this will be a really sweet eng. for my 68 bumpside with a C6 behind it. Thanks for the input . Martin
