Which 351?

Okay here's the question:

1980 Ford Bronco XLT all stock.
I have heard it has a 351C, but I'm seeing so many Bronco's with the 351W. So my question is what 351 does my "Big Red" have?
And also I have heard much controversy on which is the better engine, I thought you guys might be able to straighten things out on which engine comes on top and where.


I fully support your attempts to bring the Bronco back. The computer generated picture is now my desktop wallpaper. But I say we keep the "could be" Bronco true to it's heritage, reflect on it's past, maybe square headlights or optional bench seats, maybe 4X4 without the pushbutton. Just some thoughts.

(babybronco is what I call my '87 Bronco II in case your wondering)

Which 351?

6 bolts holding the valve cover on=351w
8 bolts holding the valve cover on=351m
If you have a 351m you have the option of a 400 or 429/460.
If you have a 351w you have the option of a 289/302 or 351c
