And if it is a manual transmission, you also need a V-8 bell-crank or "Z-bar"...
: You need frame mounts from a V8 car. This is the only "must" requirement, but without V8 springs your car will sit too low. Without a V8 transmission crossmember your exhaust will be comprimised. Without a V8 rearend you may break axles. Along with the 302 you will need a flexplate or flywheel, as the 6-cyl one will not work.
: Basically, you should find a V8 Maverick in a junkyard, and transfer springs, mounts, crossmembers, and suspension over. This is the best way to do the swap. -CP
