7991LX... My apologies for the misunderstanding and confusion, But I would never purposely imply or suggest a 351W Intake would work on a 302, only that 289/302 Intake(s) is interchangeable. I’d mentioned information regarding the figment of an 84’ 5.0’ Intake he has, its fit his 93’ GT.. Regarding the Subject, I’m under the impression that “FAST 5.0” is looking to do a simple Intake & Carb Swap with a stand-alone Ignition System that includes ability to change dynamic timing, a Fuel System that’s both safe and effective, to Race in a Stock Class of Dirttrack racing, He’s looking for noting but bare essentials to get him up and Running with Analog interior Gauges.The EEC and everything associated with it- completely eradicated..@08GT500 has an important error in his response. 351 W blocks are taller than 302 W blocks. Intake manifolds do not interchange on 351-302 motors because of head to head width with the taller deck height, and the 351 shaft has to also be longer. Cams of the same variety (roller or pre roller) are often exchanged, but the timing order has to be set for the cam, and the distributor gear has to be right for the cam shaft gear’s material. The other distributor recommendations to get one from an earlier 302, or go with a HEI hopped up Ford distributor (like a Davis DUI) are possible, with the HEI being simple to wire. Some object to a taller, fat distributor up front on a Ford. But I doubt stock looks are important at this point.
I do not know your plans for oil pressure, but a hardened oil pump to distributor is mandatory on any build I do. The stock one in a crate motor from Marshall, (now Blueprint Engines) twisted up like a Twizzler and broke in a short amount of time.
