1986 f150 help
I have an 86 with a 300 but the block is locked up so I'm looking to drop a 302 in but I don't know what type of manual transmission will work? Will the inline 6's 4speed 1st granny toploader bolt onto the 302?

The 300 six and the small blocks share the transmission bolt pattern. So your transmission will bolt up although you will need the flywheel. Plus you'll need the engine stands that bolt and rivet to the frame, a different radiator, a small-block engine wiring harness, and exhaust.

I would think besides the flywheel to match the 302 v8 you would need the clutch disc & pressure plate also.

The engine stands are discussed here: Engine Perches - Gary's Garagemahal
The clutch from the six may work on an eight. The difference will be in the size/diameter. Some sixes came with a small clutch, but the 302 doesn't have much torque so a small one should work with it.
