I.E. the angle between the 1-5 rod journal and the 2-6 are the same on the 302 & the 351?
Ok, I am starting to confuse myself by my rambling.

I see what your getting at, and while I'm no engineer,the 351 came a few years after the 302 and was based on the 302,smae bore,just longer stroke,so they engineered the 351 based on the 302,that's why the camshafts are interchangeable........
I don't put much thought into it, the Ford engineers did that already......all I know it works....
