I really don't have anything against the 302 (I've owned 4 of them) but if I was going to replace one, I'd replace it with a 351. You can pick up a long block from a rebuilder like Thunderbolt or pick up a complete engine at a wrecking yard and build it yourself.

Here's a place I found while looking for myself. They Seemed to have a pretty good warranty and will ship to you for free.

Remember little or nothing from the 302 will fit the 351W long block. You will need all Windsor tin wear, Timming cover and intake, ect. The block is taller so even though the exaust will bolt up it will need to be raised. Yes it will bolt in where a 302 was. And is the best upgrade. IMO
I got all I needed from a blowen 351W out of a Motor Home. Free
