All I know is its a 351 and was made in 1989, and has less than 14,000
actual miles on it. Fourteen Thousand miles.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

Nice truck, Gunner. And definitely NOT a 351 Windsor.(it has
integrated timing cover, which the W does not have - according to the
picture. A picture of the rocker cover would clear it up.


That is a 5.8/351 Windsor. Cleveland's have a vertical water outlet cast
into the block and a dry manifold. The W engines run the coolant through
the manifold and have a horizontal outlet coming out of the manifold to
the left of the distributor.

BUT the name really doesn't mean much, Why? Because the W engine was
actually built in the Cleveland plant after 1969!



Daayamm! Your good ..damned good , after figuring all that out with one
poor picture!!

Kudos and Bravo!!
