Engine ID... 302 or 351W?

Is there a visual way to tell if an engine is a 302 or a 351W? Other than checking the serial number?

i'm talking about how tall the block is, from where the top of the cylinder is to the bottom of the motor. I just remembered, it's where the water pump is i think, there's a difference in height there (taller for the 351). There's a difference. Also, the different bolts in the head, i'm pretty sure that the 302's are 1/2" and the 351's are 9/16".
