Yes. basically the 351m is a Cleveland with a modified deck height.
yes,it will also fit a 351m and 429
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.
yes, they will fit, no problem but they will not bolt up to the factory exhaust
Yes , you would have to unbolt the headers from the cylinder heads
you buy the headers take yours off and put the new 1's on
No it won't. The only transmission that will fit a 390 is one off of 360 or 352. The 390 is a FE block it has a round shaped housing. The 460 Bellhousing fits the 429 351M and 400. All the Ford FE engines: 332, 352, 360, 361, 390, 391, 406, 427, 428 and 534 V-8's will fit the 390
I'm putting a distributor in my 79 ford 351 modified 400 351 crank but 400 big block .. i know it is off of time and the timing chain is still good .. but how do i time the 1st cylinder with the distributor . how do i get it firing in order ? The firing order of the 351 Cleveland, 351 Windsor, and 400 are all the same at 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 Rotor turns counterclockwise. Get the #1 piston, which is the piston on the front of the engine passenger side, at top dead center, (TDC) on the compression stroke. Turn the rotor on the distributor to the #1 spark plug on the distributor cap and insert the distributor into the engine. Time the engine with a timing light.
If your looking for raw open power than no. But you can't drive a vehicle on the roads with open headers. So it's mainly off-road trucks or high hp mud trucks that run open headers.

unbolt the engine mount on that side and raise the engine to get it off.
intake is wider on a 351 block is wider on 351First off do not confuse the 351 Windsor from the 351 Cleveland. The 351 Cleveland was produced from 1970 to 1975. You can tell them apart is several ways.The 302 deck height is 8.2" and the 351 deck height is 9.5". Older versions of the 351 had a deck height that was 1/2" higher than the 302.The VIN # on the vehicle the engine is mounted in will tell you if it is the OEM engine. The 8th digit of the VIN is the engine code. H means it is a 302, N means it is a 351.The engine displacement may be stamped on the valve cover or on the intake manifold.Look at the head bolts. The 302 head bolts are 7/16" diameter and the 351 are 1/2".The Intake on a 351 is wider than a 302 because the deck height is higher.
