Re: Tryin To Figure Out What Motor I Have
I stand corrected. Anyhow, IMHO, I would opt to look for a Windsor engine because there are more aftermarket parts available.
You'll spend less money to make more power with a windsor than you would a "modified" engine. That's just me though. The only way I know to tell them apart is if you take the engine apart. The 400m has a longer stroke(4 inches) and the 351m has a 3.50 stroke. The pistons in the 400 also have a higher compression height. Unless somebody on here can decipher the rest of the codes.......

Re: Tryin To Figure Out What Motor I Have
Need more than casting codes to tell.
If it's got a "big block" (BTW, Ford never built a "big block" that was Shivvy) bellhousing pattern, it's definitely a 351M/400/351 Cleveland. Since they didn't put Cleveland's in a 78 cougar, and 62% had a 351M and only 5% had a 400, I'd bet money it was a 351M. To know FOR SURE, tear it apart and measure the crank throw. That's the only way to tell for sure.
