What is the difference between a 351 Windsor and 351 Cleveland Ford engine?

The Windsor is a small block, basically an enlarged 289. The Cleveland is a big block, more high performance. You can tell the difference from the outside by looking at the valve cover. The Cleveland has 8 bolts securing it down * the Windsor has 5. Also the thermostat cover bolts to the block on a Cleveland and to the intake on a Windsor.

How do you tell the difference between the 351w and the 351c?
The way I tell the difference is the engine thermostat location : On the Cleveland it is mounted horizontally by the distributor and on the Windsor the thermostat is mounted vertically in the end of the intake manifold
Which is the better ford engine the Cleveland or Windsor?
Neither is better. The 351 Cleveland develops more power in stock form, but the Windsor can be built to make just as much power. The Cleveland parts are more expensive and harder to come by. The Windsor is a more reliable engine. In the old days the Cleveland was the way to go, but today I would go with a Windsor and aftermarket heads. You will have a powerful, reliable, engine.
