Hello I just bought my dads 78 f150 3 on the tree inline 6 and was wondering if a 302 is to much for the transmission

No, it's not going to be too much for that trans. 3 speeds are a good trans...if you like them.

Not a lot. Motor mounts are the same. Bell housing is the same. Just need a "Y" pipe for the exhaust (or go with duals). And welcome to FTE! Lets see some pics of the truck!
