351 heads on a 302?

I looking at buying a Intake manafold, Plentum, Throttle body, fuel injectors, computer, and heads off of a 1989 ford f150 with a 351w in it. I was wondering if it would work on my 89 ford CV with a 302? And if those 351 heads would make a differance at all? Thanks.

hey 302, haven't seen you on-line in awhile, how have you been?

I couldn't see those heads making more than a 10 hp difference at the rear wheels.

Hello

Sorry But most will not interchange from 302 to 351W or vise versa.

The heads are prob. the same on both engines of those years.

I did some reserch and found out that 77 and later, the heads are the same. But your saying the intake probably wont change over? Thanks.

I wasn't sheer. But I looked at the intake and the heads today and the guy was mistakin, and I think its a 302, not a 351. But the throttle body has 2 intake valves, the same size as my 1. So the intake and ect.. should fit but there's 1 problem. The throttle body is placed more infront of the engine instead of on the drivers side of the engine like mine. I'm not sure how I would hook up the cables. Because I don't think their long enough. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do I would really appreciate it. I would really like to swap them over because the stuff is really cheap, and I think it should boost my HP a bit. Thanks.
