Also the fan center line is the same as the shroud is the same for all the cars too.

Crankshaft Centerline should be in the same place to keep transmission angle consistent, which keeps driveshaft angle consistent, which keeps u-joints in step with each other, and pinion angle...etc....

you would think that the crankshaft center line would be nearly the same for all engines?the deck height of the block is a big factor in how tall the engine looks / is, and the size of the heads adds to that. 351W heads are small, same as 289/302/5.0, while 351M heads are big square blocks almost /if not the same as 429/460 height-wise
approx deck heights; 302 = 8.2" 351C = 9.2" 351W = 9.5" 351M = 10.3" 460 = 10.3" the 351M/400 appears as large as a big block in the chassis

351M is noticeably taller/wider in the engine bay than a 351w.

The 351m is 0.794 inches (25/32") taller than the 351w, but i do not know if the motor mounts make them set the same. I will take a guess an say yes, the 351m sets higher in the engine compartment than a 351w.
