I'm always wary of rebuilt engines from individuals.  Just don't know what they did and if they did it correctly.

But a 351M is a strange case.  Personally I'd not rebuild an engine as a 351.  There just aren't pistons to give a 351M anything other than 8.0:1 compression.  But slip a 400 crank in and there are lots of pistons available.
