Welcome to the board.

Are you swapping the AOD in as well? You might have to settle with swapping the carb for the time being. I think the intake bolts patterns are different, but don't take that as 100% correct since it has been a while since I ahave played with one. However, since the two 302's have different harmonic balancer weights, 70 28oz & 85 50oz you wont be able to swap the flywheel to the new engine. So if you are a die hard for the manual you will need to rebuild the '70 302 while you swap in the other drivetrain.

The 85 setup will be wider than the 70. 86 was the last year for the 9" but some 8.8s could have been installed by then.

i had 373 gears in my ranger & the aod worked real good with those gears. i'd check to see what your 9 inch had in it & go with it if you can.
