: a engine swap is the easy part. It's the little things that will test your grit. You also might want to get the V-8 throttle cable, different lenght, you'll need a bigger radaitor and don't ever use the earlier 302s they have the waterpump and damper mounted the old "289" way.
As for coil springs. try the old ones first and see how it sets. 302 and some 6 bangers almost weigh the same. My Moog catalog shows the same front springs on both of some 6 & 8 cylinder cars. The really big difference in front coils was the power acc. especially A/Cs, power steering. Lots of weight there.
Could someone tell me what I need to do in order to put a 302v8 into a 1970 6 cyclinder Maverick?
