300 six swap?
My truck currently has a 302 with a slight knock. I plan to swap it for a six and rebuild the 302 into a 331 for another dentside project. Trouble I am having is finding a rebuildable 300. This will become my wifes truck once I get my other dent on the road, which is why I want a more reliable engine with a bigger cool factor. I will load it up with goodies from Clifford and Classic Six for her to enjoy for years to come. Anything other then locating a motor that I need to take onto consideration for this swap?

Re you going to run electric fans?
I am working on one right now and have about 3/4" clearance from front of water pump to radiator.
I think I am going to try and find a cross flow radiator that has the correct hose routing and should leave me a lot more room for fans.

Technically speaking, the correct term is single-pass vs dual pass. Sometimes the latter is also referred to as "double-pass".
A couple of examples of dual pass:

ok i just did the opposite on of of my truck, went from a 300 to a windsor and here are the things that i can think of that were different.
gas pedal
engine perches
radiatior, but i used the 300 one with a custom lower tube
kick down linkage if you have an auto trans
thats really all i can think of other then the obvious stuff. i even used the 300s starter on the 351.
