302/351 same flywheel?

i have a '68 302. i know i need a 164 tooth 28oz imbalance flywheel. does it have to come off of a 302 or can it come off a 351? also will the alternator brackets off of a '84 351 fit my '68 302? how 'bout the distributor. i'd like to upgrade to electronic ignition. thanks

I used a 164 teeth 351 flywheel in my '72 302 and it worked fine. It was out of a mid 80's F-150.

He's right. The flywheel will work. Distributor no. Alternator doubtful. If it's the kind that bolts to the head and the block no, the deck height is different.

Ignition fire order for 302 is different than 351 , so de distributor won´t work.

Some 351 brackets fit 302's too. Ford used both types on both blocks using an adapter bracket that bolted to the head. You got a 50/50 chance there.

The distributor will not work because of the physical size differences in the to different distributors -

1- the 351 distributo is a little longer

2- the oil pump drive shaft is bigger on the 351.
Hope this helps.
