When I was looking for a truck I wanted the most power,But I wanted the toughest engine. People told me you can't kill a 300
6 . So I found a truck with a 300 6 in it and bought it. It was fine
for a few weeks and then one day I was heading to work driving
about 60 and I heard a knock and then the truck ouit on me.I
got out and looked under the hood and I put the number 6 rod
out through the block\oil pan.I bought this truck from and old guy
that I knew and it was never beat. I was just puttin along when it happend to.So then I got a 302 out of a 89 LTD and dropped it in.Power wase you wont notice it much and gas is not that different.But now that I have the 8 Iwould go back.

Oh and why would you bolt in a 302 when you could bolt up a 351W. Go with a 351W as long as you're doing a swap.
