I used weatherstrip off of an 80-something Ford truck for Ka'Bluey. It's a little tight, but it works pretty well. As far as anything else you need, I'll remember about the time you drop some parts off. 
FYI. If you're going to pull a 302 out of a fox body and hope to put a 351W in it's place, assume NO-THING will interchange.
I didn't realize just how different these two engines are. I might as well put a 460 in there for everything I have to change.

I didn't get much done at the shop tonight. I did dig out the passenger side fender and de-chrome it and quickly hung it on the truck. I got a bunch of hardware cleaned up and ready. I just have to get everything on and fit properly before I bolt it all down.

Worked on riding mower. Bent valves :-( tilled up garden for friend who had hand surgery. Tilled up my garden. Fixed up a trailer to haul same friends zero turn mower to my yard....lawn and garden look good....ford trucks looking neglected. Maby this weekend will be better for them. Have the 95 sold for delivery on the 18th. Need to clean/polish and deliver it for surprise graduation present. My boy is busy finding things he wants to do to the 86. Funny how my presence is required to fix up his truck. At least he is interested enough to put down video games and play trucks.
