Yes they both use the same bellhousing. The changes will depend on where your bellcrank ball is mounted if is mounted to the bell housing no changes wil be needed.
If it's mounted to the block you will need the proper crank and ball for the V8. You will also need the proper flywheel for the 302.

just need to reinforce the firewall sheetmetal where you mount the hyd. res. as a precaution. 302 w/3 speed & 3.25 gears in my 74(2wd) made for a fun ride.
