I have a 351W and was wondering what year the block is. the heads are a 78 and a 75. Not sure what the block is. the casting number is W566816. Thanks

Look directly above where the starter mounts on the underside of the block. My guess is it should be something like D8TZ-xxxxxx. The first letter is the decade code and the second is the year so a "D8" would be a 78.
