for what reason are you looking to go to the 302? the 300 I6 is a torque monster just put on a Offenhauser intake and header. My friend has one in an 85 F-150 4WD it is bored .060 over with the Offy intake and exhaust, mated to a 4-speed tranny with a granny gear, he pulled out a F-350 4-door long bed that was sitting on the frame in sand and didnt take the motor over 2000RPM, damn thing could pull a house down.
