If I was to put a 351windsor cam into my 289/302 with adjusted firing order,timing etc would the performance be any different if I was to put in the same spec cam with 302 timing?

Since a cam controls timing and lift, if the cam specs are the same, I wouldn't expect any difference in performance.

theoredicaly, the engine with the 351 order could last longer than the 302 firing order.
the 302 firing order (1-5) hits the front main bearing pretty hard because they fire almost the same time on the front of the engine. where the 351 order (1-3) spreads the load out somewhat. but as far a performance gaines, i doubt if it would be noticable.
