I had a 351M, had no power at all
By Steven J. Hylinski - 10/04/2001 7:58:59 PM; IP 153.104.187.159
I used to run a 351M in a 1978 Thunderbird. It was stock with the 2bbl carb. It ran great and didn't use a drop of oil, but that thing couldn't get out of its own way. It felt like driving a 4000lb car with a 4 cylinder engine. A 351M is the exact same motor as a 400M, but with a different crank and taller pistons. You could use hi compression 351C pistons and bush the small ends of your rods and end up with a 400 ci high compression motor. The 351/400M is basically a tall deck cleveland, so most cleveland components interchange. However, in stock form the 351M has very little power. Then again, during the time period that the 351M was used (late 70's/early 80's), I'm sure any other V8 had no power too because of emissions restrictions.

Cheers,
