Will 302 headers work on a 351?

...I would assume, they wont. It seems everyone list 2 different part number for the two motors, but I found some short tubes for sale locally. The guy bought them for his '93 302 F150 and never used them. Anyway they would fit my '96 351?

Thankd

they will bolt up just fine....but wont hit your y pipes. since the 302 is decked and inch lower but the starter is on the block the same, the starter side manifold tips out a bit to keep heat off that. the other side will just plain be off by sqrt(2)/2

If you are putting on a custom exhaust then you could use them. If you dont want to modify the exhaust then find ones for a 351.

If they are Mustang headers not even a custom exhaust will save you from problems, the dumps will be too close to the firewall and pointed back instead of down.
