They will fit the 351w but not clear the steering shaft. I found this out the hard way!!
You need the shorties for a 79-93 mustang with a 351w.
BBK makes a set and they will also fit the H-pipe.

Since the 351w is wider than a 302, the exhaust tubes on the headers are routed different.(because of the steering shaft)
