Is the bolt pattern the same for a 351M and 351W?

No, the 351m has a big block bolt pattern, and the 351w has a small block pattern, this caused some what of a problem for me seeing as I had 5 spd tranny off a 351w that I wanted to put on my 351m.


Will a 4 speed manual transmission from a inline 6 bolt up to a v8 302 or a 351?

YES IT WILL THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR IS IF THE 351 IS A 351C OR A 351M THESE ARE BOTH BIG BLOCK. THE 302 AND THE 351W ARE SMALL BLOCK SO YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM BOLTING IT UP. actually the 351c is a small block and the 351m uses both the small block and big block bell housing bolt pattern


Is the Ford V8 351 a small block or big block?

It depends. There is a 351 Windsor, a small block, a 351 Cleveland, a small block, and a 351 Modified, which is a strange mix of big and small block features. These are referred to as 351W, 351C, and 351M, respectively. The 351W looks just like a 302, only it's a couple inches wider. The 351C has a smaller block than a 351W, but much wider cylinder heads than the 351W. The 351C was offered in both 2 barrel and 4 barrel versions. The 2 b heads had ports a bit bigger than the 302/351W, but the 4b heads had HUGE ports. The Cleveland, although it's quite wide, is still very much a small block. (the block isn't much bigger than a 302's block) And then the 351M.. I refer to these as 351"Mutant", even though the M really means "Modified". This strange 351 has a hellhousing pattern and engine mounts that are interchangeable with 429/460 big blocks, but heads very similar to 351C 2barrel. The block itself is roughly the same dimensions as a 351W. It's more small block than big block, but a lot of guys refer to it as a medium block. Whatever. I just call them Mutants. And there you have it. A real quick way to check is to look at the number of bolts holding down the valve cover. Eight indicates 351C or 351M, Six indicates 351W. Also, 351W valve covers are flat and have a rectangular profile, while 351C and 351M usually have a trapezoidal profile. They never offered the 351C in a truck in the US, only the 351M/(and 400 - a stroked version of the 351M)


351 big block taking out. replacing with 351 small block. will the transmission line up?

There is no such thing as a "351 big block". ALL Ford 351's are considered small blocks, tho the wacked terminology of "351 big block" is mistakenly and continually repeated by the un-knowing and by many who should know better. Ford Motor Company considers ALL 351's small blocks; 351W, 351C, and 351M. Ford made a 352 big block (FE block like 360, 390, 406, 427, & 428). If that is what you meant, no the transmission bolt patterns are not the same. The 351W and 351C both have the same trans bolt pattern but the 351M has a bolt pattern like the 429 and 460.


Will 427 fe heads fit 351m block?

NO.


Is the Chevy v8 350 a small block or big block?

"The v8 350 is a small block Chevrolet motor.....................it became a big block at 396cubic inches......so anything smaller is a "small" block" this is a little misleading. a 350 is indeed a small block. a 396 is indeed a big block. but you can have a small block that is (internally..cubic inch wise) actually larger than a big block. for example GM made a 400 cubic inch small block. internally it is a larger engine than a 396, but the outer dimensions of the 396 are larger than the 400 small block. and the external dimensions and cylinder head design are what make a small block a small block, and a big block a big block. a small block engine simply has a physically smaller block...a big block is called a big block because it's block is bigger than that of a small block.

A 350 is a small block and all the engine parts are small. The 454 is a big block and everything is big. Nothing will interchange.
