  Ford first produced the 351 Windsor or "351W" small-block V-8 engine in 1969. Unlike the 351 Cleveland or Michigan engine blocks, which were unique unto their own, the Windsor block was based on the same block as the 260, 289 and 302 engines. As with many of its cars, Ford offered the new engine as optional equipment in the 1969 Torino. The 351W is fairly straightforward to work on, but its torque specifications should be carefully followed when performing a major overhaul.
