Go 347, the 302 is about 100lbs lighter than a 351w
lets see, have to notch the cylinder wals for rod clearence, the pistons come to the bottom of the sleaves, thin walls, smaller bearings...351 is hella better

Stupid question here but i dont know the answer. Can you put the same trick flow heads which are currently on a 302 block on a 351 block? Same Trick Flow intake as well?

heads, kinda...the head bolts on a 351W are larger...easy fix! as for the intake, the upper is a yes, the lower won't fit since the W is wider than a 302

What other mods are necessary for a 95 gt to go from a 302 to a 351w?
(I have the B&B Tubular K Member and A arms, if that makes a mounting difference)

oil pane - have
balancer - have
flywheel - have
headers - long tube bbk 1519 - 1"5/8"
accesory brackets - what are these?
intake - i have upper and lower trick flow, lower only needs replacing?
hood - stalker cervini - about 2 inch higher

I just bought a 302 block and a 331 kit, and i am questioning my decision. I think i could of just got the 351 block and been fine - i paid $1000 for the 302, how much is the 351? What else is needed for the 351 conversion?
