The shifter arm coming out of the transmission may be different between floor and column shifters. Last time I did one, I fangled a bolted-on adapter instead.

Those are actually plain old Australian 302 Cleveland heads. Ford Australia destroked the 351 to make a 302. The only differences are the crank, rods, and heads - since they kept the same pistons, they went to closed chambers to keep the compression up.

They work great on 351s. Last set I used went on a 377 inch stroker with aluminum rods and custom-made Wiseco pistons.

A Cool note is that there is a 50 / 50 chance I actually worked on this engine in 74 at the Rouge plant in Dearborn . Can't tell what shift it was assembled on. But I was there working at the engine plant.
Hey, that's cooler than putting the steering column in!
