Can you put 351 Cleveland heads on a 302?

Registered. You can not fit 351c heads on the 302, entirely different block. Before the wide selection of aftermarket heads was available like they are today, people use to machine 351w heads for application to 302s.

Will 351 Windsor heads fit on a 351 Cleveland?

351C heads will not work on a 351W block without drilling new water jackets in the heads. A 351C intake will not work at all on a 351 W. From what I understand, a Boss 302 intake, not a 351C intake, mind you, will work on a 302, not a 351W, with the modified 351 C heads.

Will a 351W distributor fit a 302?

Registered. Windsor distributors can be interchanged between all engines from 221 cid to 5.0L. However, because of the taller deck height, a 351W distributor is longer, and will not fit a 302 block, nor will a 302 distributor fit a 351W.

The Clevor is similar to the Boss 302. It consists of a Windsor block outfitted with Cleveland cylinder heads. It’s not limited to a particular displacement and can be built on a 302 or 351W platform. Unlike the old days, many off-the-shelf components are available for the Clevor.

Is 302 better than 351W?

The big advantage is probably the smaller main and rod journals that slow down bearing speed and use up less HP. Overall a stock 351W is hands down stronger than a stock 302, thicker deck,cylinder walls,bigger head and main bolts, so it may be that the 302 is more easily built.

Are 302 and 351W heads the same?

The 351W heads are the exact same size as 302/289 heads, just have bigger valves and combustion chamber. 302 intake/exhaust manifolds will still fit fine.
