I would say most of those trucks had a 351M or 400 in them in 78. I have no idea if a 302 was offered. I am positive the truck I mentioned above is factory stock w/ the 300. I'm sure someone will let you know if the 300 and 302 perches are the same.

The pearches are different if memory serves me the 302 perches are easy to find they are shorter that the 300 perches but they will bolt rigth up.

You will probably need perches from a 1977-1979 F150 with a 351M-400 to use with a 302.
