You have to change the headers because the header tubes are routed different for the 302 and 351's.
Yes, the headers will fit on the 351 but they won't clear the steering shaft when you put the engine in the car.
Trust me on this.............been there done that.
Also, don't let the guy/kid behind the parts counter tell you that the 302 headers will fit.................they won't
