First question. Whats the difference between a 302 exhaust manifold and a 351w manifold?

Second question. If there are no major difference's between the two can i install a 302 exhaust manifold in place of the 351w manifold.

Third question. Will a set of shorty headers fit my truck and what brand would you recommend.

i dont know exactly what the difference is but they aren't interchangeable.
yes, you can get shortys for it but you will have to switch up your exhuast a little bit

On the headers i have headman shorties on mine

What makes you think they're not interchangeable? Try and find some equal length shorties. Long tubes would be the best bang for your buck, but I understand if its not in the cards to redo the exhaust at this time.

They may be, I know the mustang manifolds are different from the truck's.
