being a 1989 block its roller ready. if it doesnt have the roller cam in it youll need the "spider and dogbones" for retaining the roller lifters, the roller lifters, and to drill 2 holes in the block to mount the spider. youll also need proper length pushrods. other than those things you should be fine to swap to a roller cam and head combo.

starting in 1985 all 302 blocks are roller ready, all you have to do is get the roller lifters, retaining spider and retaining dogbones, and drill a couple holes for the spider. e5se castings and up. 351w motors werent rollers until 1994.

It won't last 2 seconds.. mainly because it won't bolt up to a 460.[/QUOTE]
I know it will not bolt up directly, and I never said it would I was just saying that is old and tired, but I have priced a kit to make it bolt up. I figured it would be easier to put the kit there then try to find a kit to bold my transfer case to my C6 that's behing the 460 now.
