I did this swap and I had to use the V8 radiator and mounts. If you have a stick shif you will need to get the engine and body mount and z bar for the clutch linkage. The biggest problem I have is I used a Non Maverick bellhousing aand clutch fork and it is not the same ratio as the clutch petal and causes problems. I still have the toploader three speed that was behind my 200 six and it is still living. Good Luck!
: You will also need to locate some frame mounts from a 302 Maverick.
