    The 351 is taller so none of the bolt location holes will work. You need to drill all new holes and weld the correct spacers onto the bracket. Now I have converted the 302 brackets to work on a 351 and should work the other direction unless they removed more metal on the 351 bracket when manufactured.

    its been afew months since i posted this question,
    the shortblock is close to being done.
    my question is why do i have to drill the bracket when it bolts to the head?302-351 heads are the same so am i wrong thinking the belt size will be my only issue?

    Same answer given back in April. 351w is taller so if the bracket was made for a 351w the bolts will not align.

    The Block deck height is different not the head it'self.
