You can tell either or 2 ways.

First.. The 351c has a different intake manifold. And the water outlet is upright not bolter on the front like the small block's. also, the head covers are different. They have a bump in them and they are signifigantly larger.

Brad..

Luis,

Sure looks like a Windsor block to me. The heads and rocker arm covers on a Cleveland are much wider to accomodate the canted valve gear.

You say this is a 1967 with a retro 351? Nice car, my first was a 1967 Galaxie 500 fastback with a 390. That was 30 years ago. Enjoy your car!

In my opinion windsor is better as it will just as much hp but has more torque than the cleveland
