If I swap out my mexican block 302 w/Solid rollers for a stroked 351w.. what parts are/are-not interchangable?

I know i need a new intake.. but heads/timing chain cover assembly/camshaft/oil pan/pump/etc too? what about the old-style lifter bores in the old 302 blocks? Are the 351Ws compatible with the solid rollers, or will the size be the same as the newer 302's w/hydraulic rollers?

Thanks all!

Check my site for most of the details. I will post it when I get home...

The lifter bore diameter is the same between the 302 and 351w.
The height of the bore can be different however, depending on the 351w block used.
Solid rollers won't present any problems, regardless of 351w year.
Heads need to be drilled for 1/2" bolts.
Timing chain / cover is the same
302 cams can be utilized
Oil pump is 351w specific
oil pan is 351w specific
