Alot of this on the corral and the guys build their sensors of particular 351 dists and other parts.... The length of the shaft is too short, as far as I can remember. The dist gear has to sit atop of the seat in the block.

Yeah, you can. Take a look at the distributor mounting area on the two blocks - they are the same. If they were not, the front cover would not fit the same on both blocks. The only difference in that area is the height of the valley wall behind the distributor, and below the intake manifold.
As you already know, the
oil pump drive shaft is a different size in the two engines. But they are the same length. So you can use a 302 distributor in a 351 block, as long as you also use the matching
oil pump and oil pump drive shaft.
