Ford F250 from hell

My buddy gave me this 1987 ford F250 for nothing. Ive spent about 3500 bucks just getting it to smog and get it driveable. my problem is a lifter noise and the #1 piston is fowling out and mis fireing. is there an easy fix for this. my other thing is I have another buddy thats giving me and 302 HO motor minus the heads, will this fit in my truck? if so what kinda heads should I use the original equiptment is fuel injected and I want to stay with that for smog purposes.
