302 or 351W
I've been told that my motor is a 302, and that it is a 351W. I dont know which is right, ive looked up the VIN tag and it says 302, but i wanna be sure. So here are some pics, can ya help me out?
Some one told me that if you can get to the bolts that hold the water neck on easly, its a 351W. is this comsidered easy?
Also, someone told me that if the fuel pump bolts are on either side of the pump, its a 351, and that if theyre on top and bottom its a 302?

That looks like a 302 to me, the intake is too narrow, the base of the distributor is flush with the intake gasket surface, the water pump ports are flush with the head gasket surface.
On a 351/5.8 the intake is 10.5" wide, and the distributor base and water pump ports are over an inch below the respective gasket surfaces.
