well duh

You *might* get a little better mileage out of the 302, but the 351 is much better for performance.

used mechanical parts are rarely going to be a good idea unless you're in a pinch or you plan on rebuilding them yourself. buying a used 351w and rebuilding it before you do the swap could work out very well, although a remanufacured shortblock won't be too much more and at least then you know it was done by a pro.
