Can anyone tell me the differance in 351W swap headers and 302 headers? I know the deck height differance but it is only about an inch. Can you use 351W big tube swap headers on a 302 with aftermarket heads? Any help would be great.
Thanks

Sure, you could, but you will end up with the exhaust hanging too low and hitting every bump in the road....

Correct. the 351 has a taller deck height so swap headers are a bit longer to mate up with a 302 midpipe w/o any other mods. If ur trying to use 351 long tubes on a 302, I doubt u will get them to fit w/o major mods to either the car or headers. 302 lt's are cheaper new I am pretty sure.
