well you don't want the M motor at all ... it has some glaring weaknesses and is generally considered not well suited for hi performance applications. If you are planning on putting the motor in your 88, then i wouldn't recommend the cleveland either ... its much heavier and not as well suited for street / strip applications as the 351W. As far as identification goes, the C & M motors look very similar physically. The Windsor is reletively flat on the front of the block, while the C & M motors have part of the timing chain cover cast into the block, so the front of the block has a flared out section on it.
if i could find a couple of pix i'd post them so you could see the difference but i don't have any handy right now.
Hope that helps you some ?
