Hey ALL,

I have a 1979 Ford E250 vans with 351W engine. (I have restored the 
body).  The engine is shot (no oil pressure and loud main bearing knock) 
and I need to "swap it out".

I also have a 1979 E150 with a 300cid 6cyl in which the body is shot but 
the engine is in excellent condition.  I've made this swap before and I 
know it is possible and fairly easy, but I'd like to stay with an 8 cyl 
in the E250 so I don't need to change the engine mounts, radiator and 
all the other stuff that is different between the 6 and 8 cyl installations.

Question is;  Will a 302 fit in where the 351W is now?  I'd like to 
rebuild the 351W and put it back in later, but I need to use the van 
while rebuilding...  I could locate a 302 fairly easily but the 351 
seems to be scarce in my area.

Thanks!!

Kevin V.
