I don't know where they measured to get the "Classic Ford V8" numbers. 

For comparison, these are the 
width dimensions listed in the Ford Racing Performance Parts catalog:

Pushrod:
  • 302: 18 3/4"
  • 351W: 21"
  • 460: 26"

OHC:

  • 4.6L SOHC: 25 5/8"
  • 4.6L DOHC: 30"
  • 5.0L Coyote: 28"
I measured my Explorer 302 and it is just under 19" across the valve covers. Based on that, I'd place more trust in the Ford Racing numbers.
