302/351 ford motors.

i have a f-150 with a 302 in it and it burns oil really bad i was wondering if a 351 engine outa one of the other trucks that we have would be compatiable with the computer on the 302?

any help suggestions would be nice thank you.

knowing the year would help. older trucks did not have computer. if it is a carb motor, it will swap. fuel injection, gonna have some work to be done.

my thoughts exactly, switching from carb. to injection (vise versa) can be done, but it would take a lot more time and effort... if they're both fuel injected or both carb. motors then it shouldnt be a problem... if they both have computers, you're gonna wanna keep the 351 computer with the 351 motor

The 351w and 302(non HO) have a different firing order. The HO 302 has the same firing order as a 351w(13726548). You didnt say what year the trucks were. If they are both fuel injected you will have to keep the 351 computer w/ the 351. If the 351 is carburated you can get a 351w EFI intake and switch to a 1987-88 mustang 5.0 computer if you are planning on using speed density. If it is mass air already you can use an 89-93 mustang computer w/ the 351w(A9p,A9L, etc.). Also if the 351 is carburated you will have to get a TFI distributor out of a 351 EFI. sorry if it sounds confusing. Everything else will bolt up. The exhaust might need to be slightly modified due to the 351 being a few inches taller.:huh

the 302 engine is a f-150 truck it is a 91. the 351 engine is in a f-250 94 truck is the 351 engine possible to switch over to a carb?
