Yes, a 351 Windsor (351W) distributor can work in a 302 engine, as both engines share similar design and firing order characteristics. However, it's important to ensure that the distributor is compatible with the specific ignition system and requirements of the 302. Additionally, modifications may be necessary for optimal performance, depending on the setup. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional for compatibility details.
Only if you change the drive gear. The gear is different on the 289/302/351W distributor. Outside of that it will work.
no 351w's have 3" main bore size....and 302's have 2.5" mains
It should work fine as long as it all lines up correctly
The simple difference between the 302 and 351w is simply deck height. The 351w is taller. They share a majority of interchanging components. Both the 302 and the 351w have a water cooled intake meaning a water bypass hose between the water pump and intake. The 351m would have an aircooled intake meaning no bypass hose. Also the head design of a 351m would make the engine look a lot larger (wider) than the 302/351w
COUNTERCLOCKWISE
Yes. I'm sorry but this answer should be NO, a 351w has a longer stroke than its little brother the 302 making the 351 intake a little wider than the 302 intake.
this one i know thru experience,and a long time to figure it out. but yes a 302 cam will work in a 351.but, u will need to time the engine to 302 timing specs, not to 351 timing specs the same applies if you put 351 cam in a 302
First thing is count the valve cover bolts. If it has 6 then it is a 302 or 351.The 351W has a taller deck height than the 302. (a 302 will have the intake almost flush with the base of the distributor... where it goes into the block..... a 351w will have about 1/2 inch lip there where the intake meets the block.) The lower thermostat housing bolt on the 302 will be below the top of the water pump and you won't be able to put a socket on it. On the 351W you can remove the bolt with a socket. 351C manifolds are dry, no water passages or thermostat housing....thermostat housing goes into the front of the block. 351w uses 18mm spark plugs and the 351c uses 14mm spark plugs. 351w fuel pump bolts are on left & right sides. 351c fuel pump bolts are on the top & bottom.
Shouldnt be a problem...may need transmission, and engine mounts from the 302.
Yes they are as well as with the 302 and 351w engines
same as 302 if memorey serves I believe that on boss 302, 351w, and also 400, the fireing order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8.
No , the 351 intake manifold is wider than the 302 intake manifold
