The 351W wasn't even produced till late '68 so it isn't a '67 351W. The block casting numbers can help you determine it's approximate "origin", they are located along (parallel to) the oil pan rail at the right rear of the engine. Along with the casting numbers (usually just "above" them) is a "cast in" date code i.e. '9M12' which would be '1969 December 12' (months are A=Jan thru M=Dec skipping the 'I'). I would suggest you get out your flashlight and wire brush ;-)
