Actually, most Mustang transmissions--the ones without an integral bell--can be made to fit nearly any engine. But that does not mean they would be a good choice here, and you would probably need a different bell or an adaptor.
Your engine uses the same pattern as the 385 series, the 429/460. Thus, a ZF from a 460 truck can be used. This may require a hydraulic clutch, although I think 460s used an external slave set up (IIRC, CRS tonight)
Is this for truck work, or performance? Towing?

OK, so what is the condition of your 351m? Bone stock dogged out 139 hp smog motor stocker? Or stroked and poked updated firebreather?

Anything you like, if you buy the right bell housing. Figure $500 for a scatter shield, and they will drill it for what you want.
Otherwise, a Ford bell will have the Ford "butterfly" pattern. There are two depths, and truck transmissions like the NP435 or T18/19 will bolt up to one, and car transmissions like the top loader 4 speed or T5 will bolt up, although the T5 will require an adaptor.

There is no "performance" to be had in the truck transmissions, and like I said, the 5 speed or toploader set up is going to get expen$ive fa$t.
