I recently bought a boat that i was told has a ford 351 in it. i pulled the serial# off the exhaust manifold and it told me that it is a 1971 and by doing research i found out that it is a windsor because the headers only have 6 bolts instead of 8 like the cleveland. now my question is that my starter has crapped out but the auto stores tell me they cant find one that looks like mine for the year im telling them and the one they can find is discontinued. I also tried to find a distributor cap and they could not find one that was a screw down type for my model. im trying to find out just how and where i can find out the year and model on my engine.
