    so i was at the local pull and save today. when i came across 3 boncos with 5.8 L engines in them and all with 4 brl intakes. the carbs were long gone. so i couldn't resist because it was half price day. ended up paying $15 for it. the 351w and the 302 have the same intakes on them right? i was almost positive that they do. but i thought i should check on here to see what you guys know.

    Sorry. They are different. Same head dimensions. Intake is bigger on 351W.

    351w is a taller engine which puts the heads further apart. therefor the intake is wider.
