Everything is different.
The 302 won't bolt up to the 390's tranny, different bellhousing bolt pattern.

Direct bolt in...wont be able to tell the difference between the 360 and 390....except when you drive it
Also all the accessories, manifolds, intake etc etc are interchangeable........ 'nother bonus staying with the same engine family :-)
