Recommendations for turnkey 302?

I am looking to get a turnkey 302 for my 60 F100. The few places I have found have a minimum 300HP and a hefty price.
Anyone have recommendations on a good source for turnkey engines that could be setup better for my truck and bank account?

I have a very limited amount of time to get the truck out of the back yard and back on the road.

Look for a late '90s 5.0 Explorer for a donor and use your distributor and itake set up. Buy the whole car and sell the scrap when you're done.

gofastparts.com, their website is not the best but call them, they handle about every crate engine known to man and I have yet to refer someone to them who wasn't very happy!
