Ricky right, it's not that bad of a job. You don't have to cut the shock towers, but it would make things easier. You can call me at work and I can give you much better details then over the internet
I'm on vacation right now but I will be back on Tuesday Sept 4th
just call 1-800-395-2152 and ask for Terry.

:I have a old Ford article where a guy put a Boss 302 in a early Maverick using Stang Headers. It's not hard at all, easier then a 351W. I also have a Ford article where they made a street Boss using 351C,M, 400M two barrel heads and got 388 hp out of it.
: The Boss 302 block is a different block, only in that it has 4 bolt mains, 2,3,4 and screw in core plugs. Boss 302 & 351C heads are different due to water passages. If you moditify a set of 351 heads for a 302 you can use any Boss 302 Manifold, be it Edlebrock, tunnelram or Factory. The B&A manifold was mainly for the 351W's different block and because the other manufactures only made High RPM stuff.

::Ok I have the 250 i-6 mav, right now, and I know that because its a 250 I can do a 302 swap and not have to worry about the tranny hooking up, and was wondering (I don't have the $$$$ or the knoledge or the motor to do it) but would it fit in under the hood and not have to cut the shock towers???? its just an idea I've seen 302 factory, I was just wondering if any one went futher and put in a boss??
