I got this one a couple of months ago and it was sitting for 12 years,the previous owner passed away. When I got it the belts and pulleys were all taken off and there were 2 four bolt Harmonic Balancers on the floor and a three bolt one on the car. It has two dipsticks, one in front and one in back. The year of the car (1973) calls for Autolight 45 sparkplugs, this is a 13/16th plug with fat threads. The sparkplugs in the car use a 5/8ths wrench and have a skinny thread. Can anyone help me figure out what engine this is. I have looked for numbers on the side of the motor and the top of the intake. I don't know what the engine number is supppsed to look like, can you tell me how many numbers it should have, should there also be letters? Any information will be helpful and appreciated.

I'm not 100% sure but I remember that what was called the "Windsor" 351 had the large plugs and the "Cleveland" had the small plugs.

According to my books you could have a 302, 351 Windsor or 351 Cleveland from the factory.

What does the vin tag tell you? What does the body tag tell you?

2 dipsticks? One for oil and the other for the trans?
