Roller motor swap



I have an 84 f150 with a stick 302 motor in it. It is my daily driver and don't want to go crazy with it but I'd like to find an explorer with the roller block and gt40 heads and very mildly build it but keep it carbureted or maybe fitech fuel injection. I'm sure someone has done this and I wanted to know if my accessories will bolt on? Will the firing order change? Can I use my stock duraspark distributor? And if you have experience with this what other problems might I have to plan for?

Firing order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8, rotation is counterclockwise on the distributor.

If you go to a roller bump stick it will be 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 same as the 351W you just have to rewire the distributor and change the drive gear on it..

I did a 86 roller engine swap into my old 80 f150. It will all work. I swapped timing covers, oil pan, and put a 68 4bbl intake on it.
