Not positive but I don't think so. I think the collar height is lower in the 302. Best way to find out for yourself would be to go onto summitracing.com or something and find a model distributor thats made for both engines and see if the part numbers are the same.

I don't think so. The 351 has a taller deck height, so the shaft would have to be longer.
