351w engine id

got this motor and tranny for free!!! now what the heck is it? it was a box truck or van, the cab was missing.

I am guessing its a 351w with a c6? I am guessing its a late 80s, has newer style dizzy but has vac advance and a coil.

where are the engine codes at? behind the starter?

I don't suppose it will take a stock style roller cam setup.

If the firing order is 13726548 its a Windsor. The 302 HO has the same firing order. By the way the pictures look its not a 302 HO cause of the intake. if its 15426378

its got 6 bolt valve covers so its a windsor motor I think the 351 always had the HO firing order.

Its begging for turbos..... 700 ish hp. Free motor = $40,000 project......

Being blue, I'd say late 70's-early 80's 351W and C6. By the mid 80's Ford's corporate engine color was grey. The funky trans dipstick says originally a van application. All 351's are 1372 firing order. Block and date codes are behind the starter. You're probably correct it won't take an OEM roller cam. Still, for the price you're in good shape. The small block C6 is worth at least that much alone.

That does seem to be the way it always works.
