Default 351 Windsor??

How can I tell if I have a 351W? The motor is in a 88 F-250 that I picked up for $200. Thanks for the help.

first, there may be an ID sticker on the radiator support, or hood. the intake manifold may have it . use a flashlight...under the edges of carb in front. both of mine have these.

on the drivers side of the engine look at the timing cover bolt that is closet to the head if the cover and the head look very close togeather than it is a 5.0 if there is an inch or more of space it is a 351

Like Duceanahalf said, thats an easy way to tell. Just look at the intake, a 302 intake isn't very wide. A 351w intake is a hell of alot wider.
