302 headers on 351W

[hunter1]

Question, will 302 Hedman long tube headers work on a 351w? I know they will bolt up, but due to difference in block height will they still clear everything underneath? Or do I need to get 351w specific headers?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

The hedmans hit my shift linkage with a top loader 4spd. The Duffy long tubes fit.

I had issues with the clutch linkage on the drivers side. Went to shorties to avoid it.

You can go with shorties. My 73 had the swap with 302 LT headers, they contacted my floorboards and really heated things up because of the height on the 351. I went to shorties and custom exhaust now plenty of clearance both sides going down.

I had Hookers on my 351/C4 combo and had no clearance issues.
Run long tubes if you can, shorties rob torque. And isn't that why we have 351's?
I had to use shorties when I put my 700R4 in and the torque loss was very noticeable.
