out of a stroker N/A YOU CAN EASILY HIT 400 RWHP and that'd push you to mid 11's easily

Default RE: 302 Differences???

I was looking at headers (Hooker Super Comp) and noticed that there are 2 types for 79-93 Mustang. One for a 5.0L (p/n 520-6222) and one for a 351windsor (p/n 520-6223) Why is this??? I thought the exhaust side was the same!

351 is wider and tighter clearances and requires header angled a little different

If the 351 is wider...then why will the heads fit either a 302 (5.0) or a 351W??? If the heads bolt up correctly, then the intake will not line up??? Im confused, badly!

heads will work on a 351 no problem but where the difference is created due to being wider is the intake a 302 intake will not work for a 351 since it is wider..confused still??

its all about triangulation.... the distance from the center of the crank to the top of the block deck on a 302 is only 8.2", where a 351w is 9.5". The heads get pushed further away from the crank which also increases the distance between them... hence the need for a different intake

just remember... this ain't yo daddys chebby!
