your link doesn't work...if it runs and drives, then yes buy it...
A 351C is NOT a bigblock. In reality, a bigblock is defined by the
bore spacing. A 351C shares the same bore spacing as a 351W, 302 and
289. 351C and 351W, 302, 289 heads can bolt to the others blocks.
Again, a 351C is NOT a bigblock. Put a 429 or 460 crank next to a 351C
crank with no labels. Tell me which is a bigblock. It will be obvious.
Put a 460 block next to a 351 block. It will be obvious.
Ford called the winsor block family the small blocks, the 351 C,M,& 400
are called medium blocks, and the FEs and 429-460 were the big block.

found the above online and I believe it is accurate

Yes they share the 385 engine family bellhousing and the 400 engine mounts because the 351M/400 are the same except for pistons/rods/crankshaft
Actually only the 351M gets the M in it.
the engine family is the 335 series which include the 351C/351M/400
and they are all considered Small blocks.
This is the only 78 I see on that site
