What externaly is the quickest way to discern a 351 Cleaveland from a 351 Windsor?
I got the option to buy a 72 torino and the ViN for both engines is the same! Cant get the hood open easily so if I do I need to be quick and sharp.
Thanks.

W: upper rad hose goes into t-stat housing on the intake manifold horizontally.
C: upper rad hosed goes into block vertically. (Same for 400, 351M but those are not native to that Torino)
Note how the hose points down into the block:

Note how the hose goes horizontally into the intake:

IMO, I wouldn't give a rat's rear if it was C or W, you can deal with either one and make spectacular power with either one. The rest of the car is what I would pay attention to, especially rust, straight panels, completeness, and, of course, a title.
Good luck.
