TRW use to make a flat top piston for the 351 M. The easiest way to make power is to replace the crank and pistons to a 400M. I believe the connecting rods are the same for both motors, but verify with a second source just to make sure. Any 351C aftermarket cylinder heads will work on the 351/400M motor. You have to use a 351/400M intake because of the deck clearance.I have a 351M in my 1978 Ford F150 and I am tryin to get more horsepower from it.. Anyone got any suggestions?

I have a 400M in my 79 bronco, and I know the feeling of not having much power..Flat top pistons do help, but if you dont want to tear the engine apart I would suggest an intake, carb, open element air filter, and a true dual exhaust system with a nice set of headers. This setup added quite a bit of power to my truck, but if you want some real power out of that motor, your going to have to ditch those old pistons and camshaft.I have a 351M in my 1978 Ford F150 and I am tryin to get more horsepower from it..

my 79 has an all stock 351m with the stock 2brl carb and is definate need of some horsepower, my grandfather's 1954 ford with all stock 268 cu in or whatever it is v8 sounds better. :-& I was gunna go with intake, carb, k&n air filter, and short tube headers any sugestions on what intakes and carbs go well with this motor? the carb I had in mind was the Holley Truck Avenger with a Holley intake to match.I have a 400M in my 79 bronco, and I know the feeling of not having much power..Flat top pistons do help, but if you dont want to tear the engine apart I would suggest an intake, carb, open element air filter, and a true dual exhaust system with a nice set of headers.
