Jezeric posted a decent link above... I'm still working on mine, so I am staying pretty hush about it to stay focused on the wrenching that remains.

I have searched the web and found good info on swapping 302s... I guess the first question I have for you is are you planning to use fuel injection or a carb? Next, will you need to pass any smog inspections?

Next, tell us about the motor and tranny you have...

IMHO, the motor and tranny mounts are the shallow end of the pool. Sneaking the engine in between the firewall and the front bulkhead, even if you cheat the radiator forward, will be difficult. Fitting it all is tougher....

The Ford distributor is up front so you can tuck the engine tighter against the firewall, but the front accessory dress for Fords is kinda lengthy. You can run SN95 or Explorer accessories to minimize the accessory length, but it will still be exceptionally tough to run either a mechanical fan or even an electric fan.

Ask specific questions, and I'll do my best to provide specific answers...
