i have a 96 ford f150 with a 302 in it the short block needs to either rebuilt or replaced cause the cam bearings are going out in it it i got a 351 short block would that match up and work properly with my aod transmission

 

Bump Good question. I looked into this when I blew my 302, I was told by a few people to get a Mustang 302 (I have a 1991 and the mustang motors have more power) and put a bigger cam and change the lifters and rods......Not sure if this helps but its something

 

yea i think i night just get another 302

 

Just be sure to get teh correct balancer and flywheel. The 302's are 50oz and the 351's are 28oz balance. The alt and PS/AC brackets are the same. I compared the brackets from my truck(302) to the lightning 351 I have and the brackets hads the smae part numbers.

 

yea so will it work
