The 302-351 Windsor and 351 Cleveland all use the 6 bolt "small block" bellhousing pattern. The 351M "modified" is just a 400 modified by reducing the stroke by 1/2 inch for 351 CI,so the 351M and 400 share the same block,which has the same bellhousing pattern as the 429-460 engines. The 351 M and 400 has almost no parts that interchange with either the 302-351w-351c or the 429-460. I believe,heads,distributor and exhaust manifolds fit from a 351m-400 to a 351C 2bbl engine only.   [Reply]  [No Email]

But depending on what your 400 is out off truck or car there is going to be oil pan clearance problems if it came out of a truck.The Bell Housing is going to be another proplem.It is just my thought is to find 302 or 351w . May save you money.one other thought might need a little larger radator.   [Reply]  [No Email]
