Swapping a 302 for a 390.

I posted this in the 67-72 forum, but I wanted to put it here to. I have a 74 F100 2wd short wheelbase with a 302 and a C6 trans. I'm going to pick up a 72 2wd camper special next week. What I'm doing is taking the 390 and C6 trans out of the 72 and putting in my 74. What I want to know is what all will I need off the truck b/c I'm taking the truck back to the guy. I dont have room for it here. Things I know I will need to change to do the motor swap is the motor perchers and mounts. My 74 ignition system is set up like a 79 model. Will I need to do something there b/c the 390 has points in the distributor and my 302 don't. Will I need to get new front springs for the truck or will the ones in there hold out for awhile. And will my drive shaft work to. Little things like that is what I would like to know. Thanks for anymore tips. Scott
