    Has anyone performed this conversion on here? If so, how is clearance servicing/working on the block? Is it just too much for that engine bay? I don't want to put the time in and regret it when it comes time for maintenance. Thanks!

    The FE motors used to be a common swap for race cars, it does require some tower mods

    OK thanks for the heads up guys I'll look around for a 302 for my swap. You guys saved me a little cash and a lot of headache
