You need either shorty headers or long tube headers that are made for a 351w in a fox body.
The difference between 302 & 351 headers is the way the exhaust tubes are routed. The 302 headers will not clear the steering shaft. The 351 headers are routed tighter towards the engine to get that clearance. (Believe me...I found out the hard way))
