302/351 exhaust

Will 351 exhaust manifolds fit on a (88) 302 head.
Doing a 302 swap into my 57 F100 and I'm encountering crossmember and stock stearing box clearance problems. It looks like the exhaust manifolds from a 351W F150 might work if they will fit the head. (Crossmember cant be moved).
If you have any suggestions from personal experience, they would be appreciated. I would like to avoid trial and error parts searches and custom ($$$) headers.
FTE is a great resource but my searches have not been able to turn up an answer to my question.
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

Check the exhaust gasket part numbers in the aftermarket. If they match, it's a 99% certainty they fit

Both motors(302 and 351) use the same heads so yeah the manifolds will bolt on no problem. Note that because of the frame and driveline truck manifolds tuck closer to the block than car manifolds/headers so that may be part of your problem if the 302 manifolds are from a car.
