I thought we determined long ago that you had a 351W. If you have the block with the ridge, but still have 8 valve cover bolts, then you have a Clevor. That's a 351W with Cleveland/Modified heads, which is very unlikely. Just post up a pic.

All windsor family motors(289, 302, 351) use the same head gaskets, so the best explanation is that those "351 gaskets" were for a 335 series engine.. 351/400m.

Well if you really want confusion, Ford built 4 different 351 engines over the years. Windsor, Cleveland, Modified and the older FE series 352 which also had the same bore/stroke as the 351's
