: order 302 gasket set due to oil pan different, then order a 351W intake gasket set, due to bigger ports, 302 wouldn't fit the ports. Other then intake and oil pan everything else is the same.
I'm finally at the point of re-assembling my engine. It's a '71 302cu. with 351 heads. Do I simply order a full rebuild set for a 302, or do the 351 heads necessitate some change in the gasket combination(I thought I'd herd something somewhere about this combination requiring a different intake gasket or something to that effect)? Further, any feedback on your experience with gasket types or manufacturers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks as usual for the great help I have come to expect from all of you guys. John B.
