I think so. I bought some FRPP shorty's a few years ago and my buddy with a crown vic with a 351C bought them off me and they fit on his car

They'll bolt to the heads, no problem. Your pipes will be a little lower though because they're designed for a 351, which is about an inch higher, that in turn makes the collector an inch lower when installed on a 302. With a little "persuasion", you should be able to make them work.
They will not work I tried a set of mac shorties for a 351 on my 83 with a 302, after alot of time a swearing I finally got them on just for them to blow the gaskets, after further inspection I noticed the flang you hook the h pipe to was hitting the block and this prevented me from getting the the header tight on the head, thus blowing my new $20.00 superseal gaskets, not to mention getting the h pipe to fit after alot of prying and more swearing it leaked too. I lost $20 and 2 hours of my time I recommend getting the right header. I put all my stock stuff back until I could order the right stuff.
Buy the 351w headers.
They won't fit the 302 (for reasons mentioned above), but that just means you'll have to install a 351w

i had planned on doing a 351 and had most of the parts. i decided to just leave well enough alone and do a mild 302.
