Casting numbers?

Where can I find casting numbers for a late 70's 351 windsor? I came upon a engine and was told it was a 351w it was mated to a c4 auto and I want to find out what the engine is, any links that can help? also what kind of stock power do these things make?
Thanks for any info!

the casting number will be over top of where the starter mounts.

windsors started production in 1968, and remained carbureted until the late eighties/early ninties, depending on model. between the lifter bores you can usually see a "351" in raised letters. basically, just look to see if it has the typical 302 style timing cover mounting flange. if it does, then look at the head bolt holes. if they are 1/2 inch, then you are looking at a windsor.

78custom,

Look along side of block for the casting number, see if any of the numbers are similar to the ones I have listed....Good Luck...

C90E-B
D2AE-BA
D4AE-DA
D4AE-AA

Also I think the Windsor has a 5 bolt straight valve cover, and the radiator hose connects to intake manifold, it has a 5/8 spark plug. If the casting numbers match maybe these other pointers will help also...Good Luck............

you cant declare it a windsor just by the first digits of the casting number. they made windsors every year since 69, so youll get C9, D0, D1, D2, D3, etc..... all the way up to F7.
