Post a picture of the front of the engine

Or pull the lower intake and you'll see "351" stamped in the lifter valley.

I'm going to take a stab and say it's not though

Take a picture right in front of the engine. I need to see where the timing cover is in relation to the head

look for 351w swap components, the intake is wider, you need special headers,special bracket for power steering and alternator.What color are the fuel injectors? are they orange caps?

easiest way is look at bolts on fuel pump. one on each side is Windsor. one top and one bottom is Cleveland.

There is a difference in valve cover bolt pattern between Cleveland and Windsors, you'll have to google it. If you have the trans out of the way, you can measure the #5 crank journal. 2.75" is Cleveland, 3" is Windsor. Smaller than the Cleveland and you have a 302, 2.2xx" I believe.

I need to see where the water jackets are in the front of the block. If you could try and get a picture of the passenger side head where the timing cover is. That's going to be the easiest way to tell, but with the accessories on its hard to see
