300 to 302 Engine Swap
Ok, I have a tired old 300 straight six in my 1981 4x4 F150. I aquired a 1984 LTD Crown Vic Station Wagon with a Fuel Injected 302. Will the 302 bolt up to the same bell housing as the 300? Also, does anyone have pros & cons with the early Fuel Injection? Thanks for the help, any information would be nice.

Welcome to FTE Tucker!
Yes, the 302 will bolt up to the 300's bellhousing. This is an involved swap though.
Seems to me like the 300 would be better to pull them boggers.

The 300 does great, it is just tired. Also, at the local mud bog, the 300 just doesn't cut it. What would be the best for Muddin'? I have had great running 302's that get up and go a lot better. So what would you recommend?
