New carb

Hey guys so I've started the rebuild of my 86 f150 and am wanting to drop a new carb on it. It's a 1986 f150 4x4 with a 302 the intake manifold and carb is off of a 351w. I'm looking to keep this truck simple any ideas?

Sorry to tell you this... 351 intake manifold will not fit on a 302 it's too wide. You can tell if it's a 302 by looking at the water pump and the block. If the head sets on top of the water pump its the 302 if not it's something else...
