Quick 302 questions
Are there any glaring difference between an pre- 85 302 and newer ones, primarily an 1988?

No major differences between those 2 motors, externally the longblocks will look identical and all mounting points are identical. The cylinder heads are slightly different but it's not enough to make a significant difference in power. Camshafts will also be the same if both are truck motors.
