What parts are interchangeable between 302 and 351w?

302 heads are basically the same as the 351w heads with the exception of the head bolt diameter. 302 heads have a 7/16” head bolt hole and the 351w has a ½” head bolt. Opening the holes can be done by hand, if done with care.

What’s the difference between 302 and 351 Windsors?

But the difference are the bolt size on a 351 windsors are 1/2″ and they are 7/16 on 289/302…late model heads have 1.78 intake & 1.46 exhuast valves and early ones have 1.84 & 1.54 & also slightly larger intake and exhaust runners. Ford began using the same basic head casting for both the 302 and 351W in 1977.

Do you need to drill hole for head gasket on 351 Windsor?

You do sometimes need to drill out the steam pocket relief holes (there the real small holes you see on the head gasket) in either the block or head when swapping between 302 and 351 windsor parts. You use the head gasket as a guide.

Do you need headers for a 351 or a 302?

you’d need headers for the 302. They’re designed to be in the right location for a 302, a 351 head would be higher & out a little from where it would be on a 302. i would say you would need 302 headers because the difference in deck height is what gives you a different angle on the exhaust side of the head.

What are the intake gaskets on a Ford 302?

Also, the late model 302/351 heads have a larger water passage at the rear, which means the intake gaskets are different between early and late models. If you swap “real” ’69-’76 351W heads onto a 302 you need to use the 351W style intake manifold gaskets, as the 302 gaskets will leak water at the unique 351W intake manifold water ports.

What kind of gaskets do Ford 302 / 351W use?

Cometic Ford 302/351W Cylinder Head Gaskets. Cometic Multilayer Steel (MLS) Gaskets are designed to provide the best possible seal for naturally-aspirated, boosted, or nitrous-fed engines. The head gaskets are made from 3-5 layers of spring stainless steel, offering a stronger base material than standard cylinder head gaskets.

Can A 351W head be used on a 302?

The 351W heads will bolt right on. You use the 302 intake. There are some things that you will have to address, though. The 351w heads use 1/2″ head bolts vs the 302 which uses slightly smaller 7/16″ bolts.

What parts are interchangeable between 302 and 351W?

What is the difference between a 302 and a 351 Windsor?

On a 302 (or smaller c.i.d.) blocks, the distributor mount is almost flush with the top of the block (where the intake sits). A 351W block is taller. So, the distributor mount is below the block surface where the intake sits. There is also more space between the water passages and the cylinder heads.

What’s the difference between the Ford 351 Cleveland and 351M?

351 Modified Engine The 351M is part of the same Ford 335 V8 engine series as the 351 Cleveland. It’s based on the 400 Modified engine (see note on nomenclature in the opening paragraph), which was essentially a 351C with a longer stroke. Unlike the 351C however, the 400 blocks had the bellhousing bolt pattern of 385-series big blocks.

Where was the Ford 351 Windsor engine made?

The 351C was built in Ford’s Cleveland, Ohio factory, and is part of the Ford 335 engine family. Back in the day, the 351C was considered the go-to Ford performance engine, thanks to its better-flowing cylinder heads and stronger crankshaft.

What’s the difference between a 302 and A 351W?

Other Differences Engine Size Bore Stroke Deck Height 260 c.i.d. / 4.3L 3.800 in. 2.870 in. 8

What kind of engine does a Ford 351C have?

Ford made both 2V and 4V cylinder head versions for the 351C, with the latter 4V heads being the more performance-oriented versions. Unfortunately, Ford only produced the 351 Cleveland for five years (in the U.S. at least, Australia got the engine up until 1982).

What’s the difference between a Ford 302 and 351 Windsor?

It is part of the long-running Ford small block Windsor V8 family, which also includes the venerable Ford 302 (5.0L) V8. It shares the same small block V8 bellhousing pattern and motor mounts of the August 1964+ Windsor engines*. Key differences from the other Windsor engines include a taller deck height, unique firing order, and longer stroke.

What kind of bellhousing does a Ford 351W have?

*Pre-August 1964 engines (221/260/289) had a narrow 5-bolt bellhousing pattern, also referred to as the early V8 Windsor pattern. All post-August 1964 Windsor engines use a wider 6-bolt pattern (including all 351W), commonly referred to as the small block V8 pattern. The patterns are not interchangeable.
