Sorry i still have questions

Ok, here are some questions about my fairlane? The questions im gonna ask are mostly on a 351 build up. I have a 351 in my fairlane with stock manifolds. The first question is, how can i tell if its a Cleveland or Windsor?? Another is where can i find headers for my car with out cutting the shock towers and if i cant get headers with out cutting em, whats the best way to do it?? And heres my last question, If i go with a tunnel ram intake with a couple of hollys on top, will that fit under my tear drop hood scoop?? Please help!

I checked google and it says to identify a 351 windsor or a cleveland the water hose inlet is not connected to the intake. I have no clue what they are talking about. My water inlate is more on the side, not right on top like my 390 or 460. So does anyone have a picture of it?

Ok i found out what the differences were. The cleveland has the water inlet hose right to the water pump and there is a cover for the timing chain. I dont know whats the better motor the windsor or the cleveland? But it runs and now i know what to buy parts for.

64TBOLT2 Your right google is a good website. I found headers that will slid right in to my car. They are hooker compatiton headers. i still have no clue on how they go. Im thinking they go straight up past the valve covers and back down. I dont know. There really cheap 150.00 dollars and im going to order them withen the next couple of weeks so i will send picks. Thankyou

Simple... A 351 Cleveland is a BBF... It's huge compared to a 351 Windsor which is based on the 302 small block...

A Cleveland only looks big because of the heads, the Windsor block actually has a taller deck height 9.5" vs 9.2"..

Big block??? Not hardly...

The guy i bought the car from has a sticker on the air intake that says 4V premium fuel heads. Can i have those on a windsor?? I dont know how to identify that yet or im just thinking he wishes it has 4V heads.
