It will work. The newer 302s or 5.0 engines use the 50 oz flywheel, which the king cobra clutch is designed for. Just a side note, I have used both the Ford King Cobra and Heavy Duty clutch. I would save the $50 on the KC clutch and go with the HD one. Both have the same holding power, with the KC have an easier pedal. I didn't think that the HD clutch was any harder then the KC clutch. I don't bother with the KC anymore.
