[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 658223, member: 52914"] The 4.6 won't fit, the heads are much too wide. Ford calls the 302 CID a 5.0, although it is only 4.9L; the Chevy 305 is actually 5.0L. Usually a joke made on Ford's behalf by Chevy guys. You'll spend more then you think you will on the conversion, there is alot of work involved, displacing parts of the firewall for example. Have not only a competent mechanic, but a welder whose welds you trust for a structural component of the vehicle. I'd do the 302/C4 swap myself, why patch the transmission when it'll probably fail again? Replace it and the thing that drives it and be over with it. [/QUOTE]
