    Question 302 vs 351

    Ok I just got a 302 for the ranger, gonna port the heads and do a pretty basic clean up, all new gaskets and a carb kit. But I wanna build a 351w for it (bore, pistons, cam, 4bbl, etc.) So my question is will the 351 bolt up to my 302 mounts? What problems may I run into? Thanks in advance.
