Look for the numbers/letters Baddad has mentioned in a different place.

I have seen WCF on a lot of Ford parts, I believe that it refers to Windsor Casting Foundry or Facility. The 7A4 is most likely a date code.

I just went and looked again there are no other numbers on the crank, i was expecting to see a 1ua or 2u type number as well but got the 7A4 instead. its too large to be a 302 or 289 so i believe its either a 351w H.O. crank or a 351C crank just not sure which (another reason to label in paint marker i guess) thanks very much for the help

351W would be a 3C, 3M or 3MA. Cleveland would be a 4M. Measure the journals, probably not a Ford crank.

Nope, those are Windsor, 351M/400 journals, maybe a 400 crank ?

351W vs. 351C

There is a difference in the snout between the 351W and 351C. I don't recall off hand what it is though.
