302 vs 351 intakes

[MotorcityCobra]

I thought these were not interchangeable, but I'm just learning about Fords. A guy from Roush insists that a 351w will fit my 302. Is this correct?

 

[rbohm]

a 351w intake will not fit a 302, but with the right adapters a 302 intake can be put on a 351w.

The guy at Roush is on crack.

with the right adapters a 302 intake can be put on a 351w.

Yeah, but why would you want to?

 

[Fast63]

351W and 302 HEADS are interchangeable.

351W and 302 HEADS are interchangeable.

Yes, but the 351W block is about an inch taller and wider than the 302.

Yes, but the 351W block is about an inch taller and wider than the 302.

heads will interchange but intakes won't.

 

[dennis112]

heads will interchange but intakes won't.

That is what I was really trying to say, but I guess it came out wrong.

Thanks for the backup.

This is all assuming carb's intake. However, an upper from an EFI intake will fit either 302 or 351, but the lower won't interchange.

 

[rbohm]

Yeah, but why would you want to?

if you had an intake that was unique to the 302, but wanted to put it on a 351w or even a c, then the only way is intake adapters.
