My guess is 'no' becuase they went to a T5 in '84 when the 302 had about 175 hp.
Any input would be appreciated.

They went to the T-5 in 83-1/2. the SROD4 is not good in performance applications.
The SROD4 bellhousing can be used to mount a tremec 3550.TKO or a 4-speed toploader to a 302-351W so it has some use!
