No - the 351M (and 400) have a raised block which makes the intake too wide to fit the 351C. You also should not use an intake meant for a 351C 4v though it would fit. For street use, particularly with an automatic transmission, I suggest the dual-plane low-rise Edelbrock Performer model #2750. If you have a manual transmission and/or you will use it for racing, you would want a single-plane high-rise. I strongly suggest that you ensure that the gaskets you use have the cutout for the two heat riser ports. This will improve driveability and avoid several problems. Note that Edelbrock suggests Felpro gaskets which do not have these ports cut out - but an exacto knife fixes that! The factory type valley pan intake gaskets typically have the cutout (between the two center ports on each side). Good luck!

Stephen - yesterday I saw that someone had posted an Edelbrock Streetmaster for the 351M/400 on Ebay. I owned one of these 25 years ago and they are a nice medium rise single plane intake. I believe Edelbrock sells (or at least used to) the Torker for the 400. They still have the Performer - a low rise dual plane.
