I recently aquired a 351 which i was informed when i bought it was roller, but when i removed the fuel injection there was no roller webbing. If i hadn't bought the engine for dirt cheap i would have been pissed. Anyway i was wondering if Lunatis voodoo cams use the same firing order as 351. I know roller cams are the same but i am not sure about those. Also i need to find a good carb intake, but i am not sure on what i want to use. I want to keep the motor pretty streetable but mainly as a weekend warrior.
 
Are there any links that attach the lifter sets together?
Some aftermarket conversion rollers do not use the stock 302 spider.

For firing order...
All 351w used the same firing order, which is the same as the 5.0 HO.
This is the camshaft section of the 351w swap FAQ I have on my site

Camshaft-
The specs of the cam will depend mostly on what your goals are for the motor. Cam spec selection is way beyond the scope of this FAQ. What you want to watch out for is selecting the correct base circle for the deck height and lifter combination, and using the stock 302 HO firing order (since you are most likely reusing the stock 302 computer). Probably the best thing you can do is ask the company you plan on purchasing the cam from, what would be appropriate for your application. They will need to know what year the block is and what lifters you plan on running. Additionally it may be helpful to have your rocker ratio available, and what piston you will be using if not stock.
Here is some unverified info on Ford 302 & 351w firing orders.
early 289 & 302 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8
302HO & 351w 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 (this is all 83-93 Mustangs, and all 5.0 Explorers)

Good Luck
