Default Have you ever seen this sticker? 1973 Mustang 351w

Here is text copied straight from the MARTI report website-

It was a random event at each assembly plant based mainly on the ability of the Cleveland engine plant to supply engines to the assembly plants. As cars would be lined up on the Trim and Chassis line and the build sheets were printed, Ford recorded which engine they installed in each vehicle based on availability of stock received from the engine assembly plants.
Originally, they were going to assign the letter "H" to 351 Clevelands and the number "8" to 351 Windsors. But they dropped the idea and used "H" for all engines.The Cleveland was to be the default engine; that is, as long as there was availability, they would install 351-2V engines from the Cleveland plant as this was a new engine design and they wanted to deliver as much product as they could to recover their investment in the new engine design.
No record was given to the customer as to which engine was installed, but Ford recorded it for themselves.
We have the data available. When someone orders a report from us with an "H" engine code for 1970-1973 models, the report lists if it had a Windsor engine. If there is no listing, it had a Cleveland engine since that was considered "standard."


Now, here is my question. I have a 351c sticker. Has anybody seen where they sell a Windsor version of the sticker below for a 73 mustang?

Yes that is the Engine specifications Listing decal.

From that decal I can figure out lots of things

What I am asking is do you know if anybody sells one that says "351w" and "1973" on the same sticker?

I always thought that in 73 everything that was 351 had a cleveland motor. Did ford put the 351c sticker on 351w cars in that year?

Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you wanted the 351C.

I'll look for more

Just google: Ford Engine Decals

Are you sure that is a Windsor engine ?

How many valve cover bolts on each one ?

You know, now that I think about it, the Windsor was dropped for 1973.It only stayed until 1972.

The 351W went into other 73 vehicles though

I wasn't sure about the Mustang, but I do know for a fact that the Cleveland was the only engine that came in the 73 Cougars. In fact all Cougars from 71 to 73 had the 351C engine. Also the Cougars had either the C6 or the FMX transmissions.

I have asked the guys at MARTI if they could clarify this for me. Because I always thought the same as what you guys are saying, but the post I quoted up above from their site says different.

the 351m is also code H so the wording above is confusing you
