Nope different motor, tranny bolt pattern is bigblock. Now as far as the stroke and bore, it's like a 350 and 400 Chevy. 4x3.50 and 4x4 for the 400, but everything else is the same. Cleveland heads will fit an M motor but the water passages need to be welded and moved. But the can be made to work. The big issue with the 351 and 400 in fact is the head/ combustion chamber design. They are not real efficent. Anyway. I will fire it and you can hear it run. It needs an oil change, starts with 60 PSI oil and drops to 20 at when warm, but with fresh 10/40 iw was carrying 30 at idle and over 60 at anything over 3000 RPM. There is a HOLLEY 500 sitting on it so you need ont be concerned about that POS motorcraft that came on the 351/400M motors. And it's the one that is half a standard 4150 series carb. So no oddball bullshit parts. Of course you get the truck too, if you are going to just scrap the truck, I would like to hold on to the plow and salt box otherwise you get them too. $550 and we will haggle from there.
