302 - 351w headers interchangable?

Hi i was wondering if 302/289 headers will fit a 1978 ford 351w engine or can they be modified to fit? I want to get some headers for my custom jeep with a 351w and the company only sells 302/289 conversion headers. thanks

They'll fit the engine, but they may not fit the chassis. The 351 is a couple of inches wider and a bit taller than the 302. That may move the headers into conflict with chassis or running gear on the Jeep.
