302 roller motor

My 90 bronco has a 302 with 145,000 miles on it and is dying quick. I was looking at puting in a roller motor from a mustang. Will it work or is the cam and timing different? Also what years will work? and what mods or changes will I have to make ? Thanks in advance!

It'll work, but remember the cam is for a lightweight vehicle and produces hp/tq at higher rpms than you'd normally want for 5000lbs of brick shaped Bronco.

just swap that 302 for a 351. thats what im doing because i dont want to mod my 302 to get the performance out of it. the 351 will do a better job , especially with simple stuff like exhaust and headers which i already have.
