351 C...
I'mm looking for a older ford F-150 to use as a work truck, But any how heres a question.
81 F-150...truck is in nice shape, runs good, seller claims engine is a 351C, thier is no engine ID (sticker on valve cover) valve covers and block are painted Ford Blue, But I doubt 351 C were made by Ford in 81, or engine could be a transplant....To me it looks like a 351w with Blue 351C valve covers, I don't have the vin and I don't no were to look on the block For a engine ID number...
Thanks....

Big differences between the Windsor and Clev engines.
Valve covers are wider on the Clev, the front water pump areas is way different. The water pump mounting is a part of a block extension casting.
The C engine went out of production by about 1974 being replaced by the M series engines in 351 and 400 cu/inches.
