you need the 400 transmission. the 351m and the 400 share the same bellhousing with 429/460. the 302 is a small block 289/302/351w.

312, If the frame tower(perche?) are the same, what about motor support ?

I would like to buy a 1977 f150 2wd auto with a blew 302. I have a freshely rebuilt 400 with automatic transmission from 2wd truck. I would like to swap the 302 for the 400 with trans. What other thing should i consider for the swap ?

The small block windsors and the 335 modified series blocks used different motor mounts . The 2wd and 4wd mounts will not interchange either . This site has a classified ad section , you can place a "wanted to buy" ad for free .
