302 to 300 6 cyl swap questions

so i am in the army and got orders to korea and planning on taking my 92 f150 if allowed. it is burning oil and has blow by. my friend has a 300 inline 6 with about 40,000 miles on it that i am wanting to swap in.
questions:
will my ACC. bolt up from the 302?
are the motor mounts the same? if not what needs to be swapped?
it is a carburated motor so will i run into issues with the cluster or electronic trans?\
anything else i should know about the swap that has not been mentioned?

thanks other than an 86 bronco i had for a short time this is my first ford so they are a little foreign to me i am used to VW's

No. You can use the ps pump itself, for example, but brackets are different.

are the motor mounts the same? if not what needs to be swapped?
No. You will need the 300 mounts and perches and you will also need to remove your 302 perches.

it is a carburated motor so will i run into issues with the cluster or electronic trans?
Yes, you will not be able to run the electronically controlled trans without the matching engine in place because the trans and engine controls are integrated into 1 ecu. Your trans will bolt up to the 300 but you will need a different flex plate.

anything else i should know about the swap that has not been mentioned?
Exhaust system will need to be fabbed up. The 302 and 300 use the same converters but your inlet pipes from the motor to the 2-way cat will need to be built.

You're gonna have to remove the electric fuel pump in your gas tank and put in a regular pickup tube and screen.

This kind of swap goes a LOT smoother if you have a complete donor truck.
