Look at the valve covers, the W has 6 bolts, the C has 8....

look at the thermostat housing...the W is mounted on the intake...the C is mounted on the block....

Then look at the heads, the W's are narrower....the C's are huge...
The C engines were dropped in the early 80's.

The fastest way would be just one glance under the hood.

There's no such thing as a 351M or 351C with EFI.
