I need a 351m to go into what was rednecks truck, any help would be great.

let me get back to you on friday my brother in law has a van he is going to wreck i think it has a 351 in it. i will find out how it runs and if it injected or carb and post friday.

why not go 460 ? I have a carbed one I bought thats supposed to be good, I'll let go for $500 and an EFI 460 with the correct rear sump oil pan and saginaw PS pump for $600, but the EFI one needs a rebuild for sure, it is in a van right now and does run, but burns oil the 460 and 351M have the same bellhousing, and motormounts are off the shelf items. I installed an EFI 460 where a carbed 400 was, and did the whole swap for about $375

Well hell I was told that a 460 and a 351m wouldnt match bell housings, because the 351m wasnt a real big block, they said it was in between the small block (351w ) and the so called big block (351c), if that is the case I have a 460 in a truck out back,,, but do you know if the after market intake on the 351m will fit the 460 and same question for the headers?

The 351M is not a big block at all, and very few parts will interchange, no manifolds, no heads, none of it , I think the distributor is the only part. the 351C and 351 W have the small block bellhousing, the 351M /400 has the same bellhousing as the big block.

I know a 351w and a 351c dont match bell housings because the 351c is a big block and the 351w is a small block.

A lil more time researching would be a cool idea ....http://bonforums.com/books/updates/engine_families_general.pdf tells us......

I do engines all day long, its my living.
I do know that a C is not a big block
nuff said

then you tell that to the rest of the world because everyone eles has said a 351c is a big block and it looks alot bigger then my 351w, but thanx for the advice I will take it.

Now you're a bit smarter than all the rest of the world that does believe that, the C may look bigger, but its still a 335 series, may be a "bigger" block but still not a big block..

I got a very well running 400M that will bolt in

how much green are we talkin?

ill ship it to you for 500

I think I would have to come see it and can it be heard? if not any garentee other than till you hit the edge of the drive way?and were can it be viewed?

The engine is not in a truck right now . it is in Kamloops, BC. If you come and pick it up or pay for shipping i will give you a garuntee.

How much for the 400m?

By the way 351M/400M have the same bellhousing, but you need a different one (460)for a manual tranny due to the thickness of a 460 clutch and pressure plate, but if you have an auto trans it WILL bolt right up. All you need is a COMPLETE motor and accesories and motor mounts, viol-la 460 . But you can also build a HEALTHY 400 and save the 150-or-so pounds for a winch.

sorry i couldn't get back to you sooner, computer went bonk. I'm over seas right now but if you talk to my dad (that where the motor is at) at 577-3265 he'll give you the details. i ws asking for around 500.

my motor dies in my truck and i have a 351m now im getting another 351m but also getting a 460
all you need for the 460 is motor mounts and a rear sump oil pan and to notch the motor cross member for oil filter or oil filter relocator or the 90 degree elbow
