the bores are the same but the wrist pin might be a little higher on the 351 piston rendering it useless for the 302 (it will pass the deck height of the 302 and hit the head).

correct me if im wrong.

the wrist pins on 351s are lower, thats why they would go out of the block, but they still wont work
