An easy way to tell a 302 from a 351 is to look at the thermostat housing bolts. If you can get at the bottom bolt with a socket and extension it is a 351. If you need a wrench because the bolt is behind the timing chain cover it is a 302.

Should be a Windsor. Clevelands stopped being used in the 70's and modifieds in 1980. Where is catalyst sticker? Ford used to put stickers with info for all engines used and you had to know what you had to know which applied to you.

mweeps is right ,however if someone changed the engine the way to tell would be that on a 351W the thermostat housing bolts go in from the front, into the intake manifold. On a 351C or M they go in from the top, into the front of the block near the ditributor as well.

OK 16 year old. So you've been working on cars for 6 years and driving on a farm for 4 years. Many of the people here have been working on and driving cars since long before you were born.
This attitude is coming from someone who is worried that they bought the wrong vehicle because your friends say bad things about it? If you expect much help around here, I would suggest being a lot more considerate of others.

You can count valve cover bolts. Windsors have 6. Clevelands have 8. Also, the dipstick tube on a Cleveland is on the front of the engine (in front of the passenger side head/valve cover). On a Windsor, it's by the driver side exhaust manifold.
